Invited to the Throne

“Come up here….”

The invitation to John on Patmos isle

Is yours as well. (Rev. 4:1)

See Him,

On the throne,

Encircled by a rainbow of emerald

And twenty-four thrones

Of white-garbed, golden-crowned elders.

Behold the thunderous

Flashes of lightening
Proceeding from the throne

As Holy Spirit fire burns

Before the sea of glass.

“Come up here…”, God invites again.

Behold the highest of all

The created order,

Lion, ox, eagle and human,

Rapt in adoration of the King.

“Come up here…”, God beckons today.

I bless your spirit,

To join the eternal chorus,

To bow before the throne of grace,

And lay down your crown

In awestruck wonder at the goodness

Of God.
