what does it mean to be lofty
to sit upon heaven’s high throne
surrounded by beings in service
every thing, everyone, all your own
what does it mean to be worshipped
to be bowed down to time and again
and not fall to pride’s weightiest anvil
never once tainted by evil sin
what does it cost you to love us
us who swim in the dark and the deep
we who toss out your name as a simplified curse
and like tea who in evil do steep
what did it cost to redeem us
unity eternal to divide
to turn your gaze from your beloved one son
to choose justice and cast him aside
and what does it cost even still
to watch daily as we choose the wrong
in a million small ways to see sin overcome
evil win as the day it is long
what does it mean to be worshipped
by the many you’ve called to your throne
to watch them overcome by the blood of the lamb
and make their long slow journeys back home
what does it mean to be lofty
to sit high and exalted up there
waiting for the great multitude coming your way
breathing holy as we breathe the air
Thanks. Love it as always.
Thanks for directing my thoughts to God!
