TO WORSHIP THE KING

Light! Blazing light

An awesome sight!

It spirals away from the source

Like concentric circles on a definite course

I looked around and I could see nothing

Nothing but light, blinding light

But I could hear some sound though

Like processional hymns of yester years

I couldn’t pick the words of the song

Or whatever it was

I have never heard such melody

It sounded like the roar of many waters

As if on cue, straight from the light

Emerged twenty four dazzling beings

Dressed like royalty

Elegant gold crowns on their heads

Behind them was a great angelic host

Too numerous to number

No earthly army

Can stand this awesome order

Before I could fully take in the sight

I felt a presence

I felt HIM before I saw HIM

Or did I really see HIM?

I beheld a majestic throne

A form like that of a man sat on it

And HE that sat on the throne shone like the glory of many stars

A rainbow was all around the throne

And out of it proceeds lightning and thundering

 

This is the KING, THE SUPREME POTENTATE

Then I saw the twenty four beings

Twelve on each side of the throne

They fell on their faces before HE who sits on the throne

The host of heaven fell silent

I could hear my heartbeat in this holy quiet

For a long while nobody spoke

I couldn’t help but be aware of myself

Then I noticed the host of heaven

Doing the exact opposite of what had consumed me

Their gaze was fixed on HIM that sits on the throne

I could see awe in their eyes, content with beholding HIS glory

Then the twenty four beings began to sing

And the host of angels began to dance

The whole heavens began to shake

And I could only but cry

By this one revelation I understood

THAT TO WORSHIP THE KING IS MORE THAN MUSIC
