Just Say Yes
“JUST SAY YES!”
Evelyn Pearl Anderson
Imagine seeing the LORD God
seated high on His throne
and exalted with His garment
train filling the temple zone
Bright seraphs are seen flying above
with two wings while two more
wings cover the face and two more
cover the feet; they implored
“Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth
Is full of his glory”
As they called to one another
As Isaiah heard all of this, he
must have been greatly moved;
“the doorposts and thresholds shook and
the temple was filled with smoke”
Isaiah cried out, “Woe is me!
I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips
And I live among a people of unclean lips, and,
my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty”
Woe indeed! Then came a seraph
flying to Isaiah with tongs
carrying a live coal from the altar,
with it touching Isaiah’s lips
“See this has touched your lips,
your guilt is taken away
and your sin atoned for,” the seraph said.
Then Isaiah heard the LORD’s voice
“Whom shall send?
And who will go for Us?”
And I said,
“Here am I, Send me!”
Our encounter with the LORD God
May not be so colorful
Or so dramatic or musical; however,
God’s calling is just as meaningful
How wonderful to serve the LORD:
“Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth
Is full of His glory.” (Isaiah 6:1-8)
