Holy ... Holy ... Holy ...


Reading now in one

of my favorite books

in the Bible.  

Revelation 1:3 says,

"Blessed is the one 

who reads aloud 

                                       the words of this prophecy..."

I love these verses ...
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!”
 And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” 
and the elders fell down and worshiped.

These words stir up thoughts 

of what it will be like

to finally be at His feet,

 worshiping Him.

They stir up thoughts 

of what it will be like

to finally see Him ... high and lifted up.

Which brings to mind the lovely song,

"I Can Only Imagine" by Mercy Me.

I can only imagine 

What it will be like 
When I walk 
By your side 

I can only imagine 
What my eyes will see 
When your face 
Is before me 
I can only imagine 

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory,
 what will my heart feel 
Will I dance for you Jesus
 or in awe of you be still 
Will I stand in your presence 
or to my knees will I fall 
Will I sing hallelujah,
 will I be able to speak at all 
I can only imagine 

I can only imagine 
When that day comes 
And I find myself 
Standing in the Son 

I can only imagine 
When all I will do 
Is forever 
Forever worship You 
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do 
Is forever, forever worship you!

Love my life here ... but can't wait to be forever
with the One who loved me and gave Himself for me!!!

I've been thinking about reading Rev. next! ;-)
Just reading on Issac Watts 1st hymn he wrote, 'Behold the Glories of the Lamb' based on Rev. 5. After a heated discussion with his father over not singing Hymns like Martin Luther followers, only scripture allowed, his dad encouraged him and this hymn followed..
