PSALM 444

PSALM 444

I HEARD A VOICE CALL OUT
"COME FORTH APPROACH MY THRONE"
RAISED HIGH INTO THE HEAVENS
TO THE REALM OF THAT UNKNOWN

I GAZED IN AWESOME WONDER
AT THE SPLENDOR OF IT ALL
"NOW WRITE WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN
AND SPEAK OF THAT YOU SAW"

THERE HIGH ABOVE THE EARTH
LOOKING DOWN ON MAN
I SAT AND WATCHED UNFOLD
THE GLORY OF HIS PLAN

HE TAUGHT ME HIDDEN TRUTHS
VISIONS OF THAT TO BE
THE GLORY OF MY FATHER
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE

THE FLAMING ARROWS FLEW
EACH ONE I GRABBED BY HAND
STORED WITHIN MY QUIVER
TO USE UPON COMMAND

I TURNED AND FACED MY LORD
AND BOWED BEFORE MY KING
ANNOINTED IN HIS SPIRIT
AS ANGELS BEGAN TO SING

HE RAISED ME TO MY FEET
EMBRACED ME AS A BROTHER
HIS HAND UPON MY SHOULDER
WE TURNED AND FACED THE OTHERS'

THERE BEFORE US STOOD
A MULTITUDE IN WHITE
NO EYE COULD SEE THE END
ALL SURROUNDED BY THE LIGHT

HAND STILL UPON MY SHOULDER
HE TURNED ME ONCE AGAIN
A GATE AMIDST A WALL
WHERE A CITY STOOD WITHIN

THEN BOWING BEFORE OUR FATHER
KNIGHTED WITH HIS SWORD
SENT FORTH UNTO THE NATIONS
IN THE GLORY OF THE LORD

NOT ONE WORD HAD HE SPOKEN
YET, I KNEW ALL THAT HE SAID
PREPARE OUR FATHER'S CHILDREN
FOR ALL THAT LIES AHEAD

SO CHILDREN KEEP YOUR WATCH
IN WISDOM YOU WILL SEE
HEAR ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE
KNOW ALL THAT IS TO BE
