The Throne Room

From Revelation Four:

The throne room is occupied
He has taken His seat-
A sea of glass shines at His feet.
Sea glass was garbage-
Things we didn’t need.
God gathered the waste
Now like crystal,
Changed and freed.
Four creatures sing praises
They worship God,
Bowing down-
Twenty-four elders sit around Him
In white robes and gold crowns.
They cast their crowns before the King-
How can we do the same?
What sets upon our heads to give?
Can we revere His Holy name?
The four living creatures have many eyes.
They see all there is to see.
They sing day and night of God’s holiness.
They give thanks and honor and glory…
What are we doing with all of our days?
Are we wasting the moments
We could be giving praise?
The throne room of God,
Such a worshipful place…
There is nothing more urgent
Than to be in God’s amazing grace,
To stand at His feet,
To kneel before His might,
To bow before His power,
To sing in Holy light-
To hear the peals of thunder
Like drum beats keeping pace,
To flinch as bolts of lightning
Flash before our face,
To never say “Its just too much,
I have to turn away”
To always find new songs of joy
And always get to stay
In such a place of honor,
The throne room of our King,
Our jealous God will never tire of
Anything we bring
To the throne room.
