After Hebrews 12:22-29
The
mountain is there,
the sacred
place, the city
joyful,
the church
joyful,
the church
of the
firstborn
joyful,
the assembly
rejoicing,
one hears
the voices
singing,
full-throated
joy pouring
from
hearts made righteous
made
perfect by the word
that
hovers over the hearts
formed and
filled
by the
word speaking,
the voice
shaking
the
created things so that
only the
unshaken remains.

I would love to take this poem with me to church today and remember it when "one hears the voices singing, full throated joy pouring from hearts made righteous made perfect by the word..." This is such a beautiful picture of worship pure and full to the brim with unadulterated joy...Thank you for this "word" picture created so perfectly for our Sunday morning rejoicing...
ReplyDeletePamela, thank you. This poem started its life as notes I took listening to a sermon in church.
ReplyDeleteYour poem inspired me to continue this theme in my Sunday blog post this morning. I have linked it to your post today as well. Thank you for sharing your gift with us today. http://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-voice-of-god.html
