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
