There is a Higher Throne

There is a higher throne

Than all this world has known

Where faithful ones from every tongue

Will one day come

Before the Son we'll stand

Made faultless through the Lamb

Believing hearts find promised grace

Salvation comes

Hear heaven's voices sing

Their thunderous anthem rings

Through emerald courts and sapphire skies

Their praises rise

All glory, wisdom, power

Strength, thanks and honour are

To God our King who reigns on high

For evermore

And there we'll find our home

Our life before the throne

We'll honour Him in perfect song

Where we belong

He'll wipe each tear-stained eye

As thirst and hunger die

The Lamb comes as our Shepherd King

We'll reign with him.

when i am in the gutters, i need to re-cast my focus into the skies.

when the sun rises, the world is re-energized. the birds sing to the streaks of red in the horizon, while i stand in the chilly air absorbing the fullness of it all.

in times like this, i really am thankful that there is a Higher Throne.
