“Come up here,” invites God
“From earthly shackles free
Then you’ll be able to understand
And see what I can see.”
I accepted His invitation
Immediately could see
Someone sitting on a throne
In glorious majesty.
Around the throne a rainbow
Elders all clothed in white
Gentle rumbles of thunder
Brilliant flashes of light.
In front of the throne were lampstands
With flames burning bright
And a sparkling crystal sea
An amazing, awesome sight!
In the centre and around the throne
I saw with great surprise
Four wonderful living beings
Covered front and back with eyes.
Each of the creatures had six wings,
All gleaming in the light
A lion, an ox, a human
And an eagle in full flight.
The elders all fell down in worship
For all the Almighty had done
Praising the One who always was
Who is and still is to come.
To the One who lives for ever
The beings gave honour and glory
Saying, “Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty.”
Since accepting God’s invitation
To come up and see
I’ll join to give God the glory
Around the throne for eternity.
