Notes About The Poem

Rulers, Hebrew and Gentile, make the mistake of trying to be like God instead of serving Him and doing His will. David, though not perfect, was a man after God's on heart and sought to submit to and to do His will. Thus, David's descendant, Jesus the Messiah, will receive the right to rule over all. God's enemies will become a footstool for His feet. (Psalm 110)

Footstool

"O, to have a kingdom 
Its subjection so sweet!
Golden, like Solomon's
Footstool, for my feet.

Rest from my enemies,
Trampled into dust,
Falling at my feet,
Like so much sawdust.

Behold my sovereignty!
My judgment is supreme!
Try to fight back, and
My methods are extreme!

Wealth from my wisdom
Will secure all my dreams,
Then to stay in power
Requires constant schemes."

"Ironic you should blather
While I execute your demise!
Messiah sits at My right-hand,
While I squeeze you with My vise!

'I AM' building Him a footstool,
Putting ALL beneath His feet!
All enemies will be vanquished!
Your subjection is so sweet!

Come worship at My footstool,
Be subject to My decree.
The wicked will be trampled,
But the righteous shout with glee!

Let the kings of the earth tremble
At the darkness I'll unleash
My storm clouds, see them billow?
So, repent or perish, capisce?"

"David had it in his heart
To build a house for Me,
Complete with a footstool,
So this kingdom I'll repeat."
