One year gone.
A new year awaits.
Breathless
with dazzling days
high hopes
and glimmers of grandeur.
Never mind bent bodies
and weary bones
slower steps
and wisdom from wasted days gone by.
Though evil from without and within
wages war on hearts leaning to the LORD
Yet our eyes blaze bright
With flickers of glory-fire.
The Light of the world
Cracks the skies of our souls
Widening our heavenly view
The veil grows thin
Visions divine seeping through
Just up ahead now.
Seated on the throne
High and lifted up
The train of His robe floods the temple
Billowing smoke
Thunderous shaking
Holy
Holy
Holy
The figure of a man
Glowing amber
Brilliant light
The glory of the LORD!
Faithful and True
Flaming eyes
Crown upon crown
Robed in righteousness
Dipped in blood
Armed with strength
Sword of Truth
Word of God
Piercing soul and spirit
joint and marrow
He rules and reigns
He saves all who come, all who confess
He judges the world
We bow down
Low
Low
Low
Before the Eternal Majesty
Holder of life and breath
The Risen One
Victorious Savior
Mighty God
Prince of Peace
The man on the cross, the God who arose
THE KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS
Jesus. Christ. Is. Returning.
The earth groans.
The heavens quake.
Awake, look up
Redemption draws nigh!
The Spirit and the Bride say
Come, Lord Jesus!
Are you ready?
One day closer.
One year closer.
Breathless!
