I Met Jesus, Face To Face

I Met Jesus, Face to Facetc "I Met Jesus, Face to Face"

I had walked life’s way with an easy tread
I had followed where comfort and pleasure led;
Until one day in a quiet place (just like this)
I met Jesus, face to face.

With station and rank and wealth for my goal,
Much thought for my body, but none for my soul,
I had entered to win in life’s mad race
When I met Jesus , face to face.

I met Him, and knew Him, and blushed to see
That His eyes full of sorrow were fixed on me
And I stumbled and fell at His feet that day,
As my castles just melted and vanished away.

They melted, and vanished, and in their place
I saw nothing else but His face,
And I cried aloud, ‘Lord Jesus, make me meet
To follow the steps of Thy wounded feet!’

My thought is now for the souls of men,
Because I lost my life to find it again;
That day when in a quiet place (just like this)
I met Jesus, face to face.
