God of eternity,
Brilliance of heaven,
Blazing shimmers of transcendent spark,
Unrestrained flashes, swirling flames, eclipsing Northern lights.
For time immemorial,
Generation upon generation,
Basked in celestial wonders of endless rippling,
Yesterday, today, and a thousand tomorrows.
You are untouched,
Unmarred,
Untarnished,
By creaking bones, rusty corrosion, or decay’s malodorous stench.
Undiminished
By the calendar’s yearly turn,
Or the season’s spinning summons.
The train of Your robe billows before all, above all, beyond all.
Your voice calls the universe to attention.
Every galaxy, every molecule,
Bows at Your command,
Resounds and releases rhythms of sacred song.
Majesty unfurls in mounting swell,
Splendor befits You.
You awaken the dawn,
And we live.
With earth’s new day
We approach our last,
To meet Him who breathed us to life,
And died with dripping arms extending unending life.
He who is
Victorious,
And unblemished
By sin’s beastly hunger, evil’s heinous snarl, or pride’s loathsome swagger.
Soon and coming King,
Untainted by earthly stain,
Unmoved by mankind’s strain,
Unmatched in honor.
Forever we will praise You.
Forever we will sing,
Worthy is the Lamb
Slain for us.
Blood-bought clothes enfold us,
With squinted eyes, we gasp.
Our tender-scarred Savior and justly-crowned LORD glistens in star-glowing glory.
The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Psalm 19:1 ESV
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:28-29 ESV
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works. Psalm 145:3-5 NIV
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” Revelation 5:11-13 ESV
And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:16 NKJV
