Amidst the Glassy Sea
Amidst the Glassy Sea
By Ren R. Royal
Amidst the glassy sea,
Through skies of mist and haze,
The moonlight dances in joyful glee,
Its picturesque beauty portrays.
The gleaming stars and sea have met,
Through cascading rivers of sunlight,
As the skies unfold the beautiful sunset,
The trembling earth in pure delight.
The earth, the skies, the heavens, the seas,
All join in life’s pure rhythm,
Every living creature new life breathes,
Discord to harmony; division to union.
The bridges of the soul now cross,
What evil and sin divide,
Because our Lord has suffered loss,
The joy of salvation reside.
Beyond the shadows that hinder our sight,
Into the darkened skies of the soul,
Shining down from Heaven’s majestic light,
Cascading fountains of grace overflow.
Beyond the valleys lie treasures so deep,
Unseen from the mountains above,
Into the hearts of faith, they reap,
Blossoming by the seeds of God’s Love.
Through darkened horizons that once did blind,
Once lost, we now are found,
God’s hand of grace extends to mankind,
Christ’s love in our hearts abound.
From bridges so narrow to crossroads so wide,
From the stumbling blocks that hinder,
To salvation’s road our Lord shall guide.
When, thus, we learn to surrender.
When salvation unveils its picturesque view,
Amidst the glassy sea,
With Glory’s horizon, each colorful hue,
The open arms of Eternity.
Beyond the murky waters of sin,
Amidst the glassy sea,
To paths of Righteousness, enter in,
To God the Everlasting Glory be!
