	Story Behind the Song I've always wondered about that verse in the Bible that says, "No man can look upon the face of God and live." Especially since God has now come to earth in the flesh and many saw him face to face. There's still this belief among many today, that God is way out there somewhere in space, and we're just left here to fend for ourselves. The truth is that we can be so close to God that, as Jesus said, we can be "...In Him and He in us...." And the verse can still remain true that the more this flesh and sinful nature dies, the clearer his face becomes. "Stare" is a song that reflects these thoughts and ideas. "Standing eye to eye and face to face, the distance once between us now erased." Lyrics Verse: I've heard it said No man can look on the face of God and live You're way out there and I'm left standing here So they say No man can look on the face of God and breathe Let me die and you can breathe through me Chorus: So I look, so I gaze, so I stare at the Son So I die, so I break, so I wait for the dawn Standing eye to eye and face to face The distance once between us now erased Verse 2: So I've seen Man made walls to keep you at arms length I'm reaching out beyond these boundaries So I've learned Your countenance is shining down on me I've never known such grace and such beauty
