Lessons from Revelation Chapter 4
The beings closest to the throne of God
No rest at all they have; no rest
And never do they cease from saying
The same thing they keep on saying:
Lord God Almighty was, and is to come
He is; and He holy, holy, holy
And day and night they keep on crying: Holy
And they give glory, honor, thanks to Him
The elders also who to God are close
They too fall down and worship God who’s holy
They worship God the One who lives for ever
And cast their crowns before the throne of God
They cast their crowns and to God they say:
Lord, You are worthy to receive all glory
And honor, power; You’re worthy to receive
For Thou created all things, all things made
And for Thy pleasure were all things created
And for His pleasure- You and I exist
And He is worthy from our life to also
Receive all honor, glory, worship, praise
The ones who’re closest to the Throne of God
They worship God, and they say “Holy, holy”
And if we’re close to God, to His throne come
We’ll also bow, and worship, crying, “Holy”

But in my life- so much, so very often
I did not see God High and lifted up
As a result I God just did not worship
I was too far, too far I was from God
And I Him worshiped not, gave Him not glory
And for my pleasure lived I, not for God
But now it's different, I am in His Kingdom
And I want to be close and closer still
I want to see Him always High and lofty
To see His glory, be close to His feet
I do not want to give God just lip service
I want my heart to beat with heart of God
I to His throne now come and Him I worship
Because I’ve been forgiven and redeemed!
Because I have the righteousness of Jesus
I’m clothed with righteousness of Christ- not mine
I worship God, the One who is so holy!
Lord help my life, a worship to You be
Help me to worship always not just sometimes
To always see You High and lifted up
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, The four and twenty elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created” Revelation 4:8-11
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews. 4:16
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure” 1 John 3:1-3
