REVELATION (all)

John sees a vision, Christ appears bright

Glory & power, clothed in light

Eyes like flames, voice like the sea

He holds the stars, keys of victory

Letters to seven churches He sends

Encouragement, warning, correction extends

Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira too

Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, each in view

Christ walks among lampstands, pure & true

His words reveal what the faithful should do

He is the Alpha, Omega, the King

All creation praises, all heaven sings

A throne in heaven, God enthroned

Twenty-four elders bow, prayers intoned

Four living creatures, full of eyes

Ceaseless worship beneath the skies

A scroll with seven seals is held

No one worthy, John weeps compelled

But the Lamb appears, slain yet alive

He alone can open, the world to revive

The first four seals bring horsemen & war

White, red, black, pale, judgment they pour

The martyrs cry, their prayers ascend

Salvation promised, wrath shall end

Seven trumpets sound, disasters unfold

Hail & fire, seas & rivers turn cold

Locusts swarm, the pit is released

Plagues & destruction will never cease

Two witnesses preach, power divine

The beast opposes, yet God’s plan shines

The seventh trumpet proclaims God’s reign

Heaven rejoices, judgment & gain

A woman clothed with sun gives birth to a child

The dragon pursues, but God is mild

War in heaven, Michael prevails

The dragon cast down, evil assails

The Lamb on Zion, saints redeemed

Sing songs of praise, their voices teamed

Seven bowls of wrath pour on the earth

Plagues & fire declare His worth

Armageddon calls the kings to fight

Earth convulses, nations in fright

Yet God triumphs, His kingdom stays

All creation joins in endless praise

A new heaven & earth appear in sight

No more sorrow, darkness, or night

The holy city, streets of gold

God dwells with men, His love unfolds

Rivers of life, tree of grace

Healing of nations, joy in place

No curse remains, the Lamb alone

Reigns forever, on His throne

John closes with blessing, call, & cheer

“Come Lord Jesus, quickly appear

Faithful & true, the Alpha, Omega, King

All creation praises, let heaven sing”

The vision shows the end & start

Of God’s great plan, His loving heart

Victory, judgment, mercy, light

All will be made right by His might

REVELATION 16-22

Seven angels pour the bowls of wrath

Upon the earth, the seas, the path

Fierce plagues fall, the sun burns bright

Darkness covers men in fright

Rivers turn to blood, creatures die

The nations curse God, yet will not cry

The throne of the beast is set with pride

Yet God’s great power will not be denied

Armageddon calls the kings to fight

The earth convulses, in fear & fright

Cities crumble, the mountains shake

The wrath of God all will partake

The seventh bowl, lightning, voices loud

The temple opens, the world unbowed

The nations tremble, judgment clear

The Lord alone brings hope, not fear

John sees a woman in radiant light

A new heaven & earth, wondrous sight

The holy city, Jerusalem above

Prepared for all who walk in love

No more sorrow, death, or pain

God dwells with men, forever reign

The river flows from God’s throne

Life eternal, all His own

The Lamb’s pure light shines ever bright

No need for sun, His glory’s sight

The nations walk in truth & peace

God’s covenant of love will never cease

He who overcomes shall eat from tree

Of life, the fruit that sets hearts free

No curse remains, the throne restored

All glory given to Christ the Lord

The gates are open, twelve foundations gleam

Streets of gold, waters of dream

No night, no sin, no evil remains

The Lamb alone forever reigns

John closes with blessing, call, & cheer

“Come Lord Jesus, quickly appear

Faithful & true, the Alpha, Omega, King

All creation praises, let the heavens sing”

REVELATION 11-15

John sees a measuring rod, the temple of God

Two witnesses prophesy, defying the rod

They preach in sackcloth, with power divine

Fire proceeds from their mouths, a holy sign

The beast will rise to fight & slay

But three and a half days, God’s power holds sway

The dead are raised, great fear is shown

Glory & honor to God alone

Seventh trumpet sounds, voices proclaim

“The kingdom of our Lord, the Lamb, His name

Nations rage, yet time is brief

Heaven rejoices, judgment & relief”

John sees a woman, clothed with sun

Moon beneath her feet, twelve stars spun

A dragon waits to devour her child

But God protects, His plan is wild

War erupts in heaven, Michael stands

Dragon cast down by angels’ hands

The earth receives the beast & his mark

Idolatry spreads, but hearts in dark

Lamb on Mount Zion, a hundred forty-four thousand

Singers of songs, redeemed, unbound

First woes pass, yet more shall come

The trumpet of wrath, God’s kingdom drum

Seven angels with seven plagues appear

Golden bowls filled with God’s anger near

Earth is judged, seas & rivers bleed

Those who rebel, cursed deeds indeed

Yet praises rise from saints above

And from the elders’ thrones, eternal love

Harps & incense, prayers ascend

Glory to God, His rule won’t end

Vision of victory, justice, & might

The Lamb triumphant, robed in white

All creation joins, oceans & skies

Singing His power, holy cries

Though evil rages, God reigns supreme

His kingdom eternal, faith redeemed

Saints are called to endure & stand

All judgment falls by His command

REVELATION 6-10

The Lamb begins to open seals

A vision of earth, the heavens reveals

First rides a rider on a white horse

With bow & crown, spreading force

The second, red, takes peace away

Men slay each other, night & day

The third is black, scales in hand

Famine & sorrow across the land

The fourth is pale, Death rides near

With Hades following, spreading fear

The fifth seal cries, martyrs plead

Under the altar, souls in need

“How long, O Lord, till justice comes?”

White robes given, salvation hums

Sixth seal shakes heaven & earth

Sun turns black, moon blood-birthed

Stars fall down, mountains move

Fear & terror, the world must prove

Heavenly ones cry, “Hide from wrath

The Lamb who comes, the righteous path”

Seven angels prepare the next seal

Seven trumpets sound, the earth shall feel

Hail & fire, a third of trees burn

A third of seas, blood they turn

Third trumpet, waters turn bitter & red

Third of rivers & springs, creatures dead

Fourth trumpet dims the sun & moon

A third is dark, the night comes soon

The fifth trumpet, a star falls from sky

Bottomless pit opens, locusts fly

Scorpions sting, torment the lost

But not the sealed, not at cost

Sixth trumpet, four angels released

Plagues of war, a mighty beast

Multitude slain, yet repented not

God’s mercy endures, though judgment wrought

John sees a mighty angel descend

With little scroll, prophecy to send

He stands on earth & sea so wide

His voice is thunder, nations cannot hide

“Take & eat,” the angel cries

Sweet in mouth, bitter in belly lies

Prophecy unfolds, mystery revealed

God’s plan for earth is fully unsealed

The Lamb is worthy, the scroll to claim

Creation praises His holy name

Judgment & mercy, wrath & grace

All find their place in God’s embrace

REVELATION 1–5

John receives a vision bright & clear

The Son of Man appears, His voice draws near

Clothed in robe, with sash of gold

Eyes like fire, feet like burnished mold

His voice is thunder, words like flame

Seven stars held in His right hand’s claim

Seven golden lampstands stand before

The churches He loves, His heart they bore

“Write what you see, what is & shall be

Letters to the seven, for all to see

To Ephesus, cherish first love lost

To Smyrna, endure, count not the cost

To Pergamum, hold firm the way

To Thyatira, keep faith, do not sway

To Sardis, wake, your deeds review

To Philadelphia, faithful & true

To Laodicea, repent, grow hot & new

I know your deeds, your hearts are true

Hold fast the faith, forsake no part

Be steadfast, humble, strengthened in heart”

John turns in awe, at the vision grand

A voice commands, “Do not be afraid, stand”

The glorified Christ walks midst the lampstands

Holding the stars, the keys, all in His hands

Then John is caught in a vision above

A throne in heaven, surrounded by love

One sat upon it, brilliant & bright

Lightning & thunder, in dazzling light

Twenty-four elders bow, with crowns of gold

Casting their garments, stories told

Four living creatures, eyes all around

Praise & worship with ceaseless sound

They sing of God, the Almighty King

Holy, holy, let the heavens ring

The scroll appears, sealed with seven

No one worthy, no one in heaven

John weeps, no mortal can take

The scroll or open, the seals to break

But one appears, the Lion of Judah, strong

Root of David, to Him belongs

Then John sees the Lamb, standing as slain

With seven horns & seven eyes to reign

He takes the scroll, the elders fall

Worship & honor, blessings call

Sing praise to Him, the Lamb who reigns

Worthy to open the seals & chains

Creation joins, voices loud & high

Glory & honor ascend the sky

The throne resounds with endless song

The scroll is held, the Lamb is strong

The vision unfolds, a heavenly scene

Christ reigns forever, forever King

JUDE

 Jude writes to warn the faithful saints

Of false teachers, arrogant & quaint

They pervert the grace of God for gain

And lead the flock into disdain

“Remember the words of the Lord

That judgment comes with mighty sword

Contend for the faith, once delivered to all

Stand firm in Christ, heed His call”

He recalls the fallen, the ungodly, the lost

How angels fell & paid the cost

Sodom & Gomorrah faced fire & flame

As examples of those who scorn God’s name

Jude urges mercy to some in fear

Save gently those who wander near

But keep watch, avoid the polluted mind

Defend the truth for all mankind

He closes with glory, praise, & might

To God our Savior, shining bright

Who can keep you from stumbling, true

And present you blameless, holy, & new

Who loves to lead & pushes aside”

But commends those who remain strong

A faithful worker meeting others’ needs

Encourage hearts, uphold God’s embrace

He closes with joy, desire, & cheer

To see Gaius continue without fear

In word, in action, in all you say

Live for the Lord, both near & far

And shine like lights, reflecting who you are

He reminds them to love in deed & word

Not merely in speech, but through action heard

“Remember the prophets, holy & true

Who spoke of Christ long before you knew

And understand the Lord’s great might

He warns that scoffers will come at last

Denying the promise, clinging to past

But God’s patience waits, not slow but sure

He gives all time for hearts to mature

Grow in faith, virtue, knowledge & love

Self-control, perseverance, a heart above

Godliness, brotherly affection, care

For those who practice these shall share

Beware the corrupt who twist the way

False words like clouds without rain

Empty promises, worthless gain

Your faith is precious, your spirit enough

Though tested like gold in fire & flame

Endure with courage, praise His name”

He reminds them they are chosen, holy & true

A royal priesthood, God’s own view

Called out of darkness into His light

Shining in the world with deeds upright

Submit to rulers, to kings & all

Respect authority, heed God’s call

Serve one another with humble heart

In love & patience, play your part

Wives, be pure & gentle in ways

Husbands, love fully, not just for praise

Children obey, parents give care

Encouraging faith to stand its best

“Count it joy when troubles arise

For testing produces endurance wise”

He warns against favoritism in the crowd

Treat all the same, humble & proud

The rich & poor are equal in sight

God’s chosen dwell in truth & light

Faith without works is dead, he warns

A seed unused will yield no morns

But show your faith through deeds each day

Help the poor & walk God’s way

Control your tongue, your words are fire

Bridled speech will lift you higher

Let deeds & love shine through your days

And glorify God in all your ways

Patience, prayer, humility, & love

Faith in action, hope above

The tongue controlled, good works abound

In God’s great mercy, we are found

HEBREWS

The author writes to saints in need

To strengthen faith & guide in deed

He shows that Christ is greater still

Than angels, prophets, law, or will

He tells of Moses, faithful true

Yet Christ is greater, all things new

The Son of God, appointed heir

Of heaven & earth, of all that’s fair

Through Christ the world was made & blessed

By Him, we find eternal rest

He is the radiance of God’s bright light

Sustaining all, our hope, our might

The law was given through Moses’ hand

But grace & truth through Christ now stand

He enters heaven as perfect Priest

Offering Himself, a holy feast

No other sacrifice could save

No mortal priest could conquer grave

But Christ has died, has risen, reigns

To cleanse our hearts, remove our chains

We are called to hold fast, endure

For faith in Him will keep us sure

Encouraged by His patient love

Looking to heaven, not below, above

He warns of drifting, dulling hearts

Of turning from the truth that imparts

God’s word is living, sharp & true

Discern it well in all you do

Christ sympathizes with our weak frame

He suffered, died, yet still the same

He calls us holy, pure, & blest

To run the race & find our rest

Therefore let us persevere & pray

Encourage one another each day

Fix our eyes on Jesus, King

To Him our lives & praises bring

Let faith, hope, & love ever shine

In hearts of all, in God’s design

Through Christ we live, through Christ we stand

Forever held in His mighty hand

 Paul writes to Philemon, friend so dear

With gentle words to calm & cheer

He speaks of Onesimus, once lost & gone

Though he once wronged you, now he’s restored

Through Christ’s great love, we are all adored”

Paul humbly asks, yet speaks with grace

For unity & peace in every place

He offers to repay what might be owed

To guard the faith in all he will do

“Preach the word, in season & out

Correct, rebuke, encourage without doubt

Be ready always, endure the pain

For God will bless all you sustain”

He warns of times when men will fall

Lovers of self, of pleasure, of all

They will shun truth, be stubborn, proud

Seek only their gain, speak empty & loud

“But you, my son, continue in grace

Hold fast the faith, run the good race

From infancy you’ve known the sacred word

Trust in it always, let it be heard”

Paul reminds of Scripture, God-breathed & true

That it teaches, corrects, guides all you do

Let no one despise your youthful ways

But set the Church on fire with praise”

Live in the Spirit, awake, not asleep”
