The Song of the Lamb

 

On a sea of glass
mingled with fire
My overcomers
stand

singing songs
of praise and glory
to their King
their Lord, their Lamb.

Jesus establishes my song.

“And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those that have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb . . .”

to My ears
your very breath

My name is raised.
