When I Saw Him -Revelation 1v17

Here we have the book of Revelation

written by the apostle John on his own

cast on to the island of Patmos

he heard a voice his mind was blown

 

In the spirit realm, John was that day

the world was all a thing of the past

for this was worship as God intended

falling at His feet thought time was cast

 

It looked as if John was dead

for he was above this world so high

though he was completely flat out

but his breath was alive not to die

 

At that moment a hand gripped John

it was his right saying do not fear

for this was Jesus the bright morn star

who always has been this was so clear

 

John had such a privilege

never before had he said this

"when I saw Him" so fulfilling

true real worship this sheer bliss!

 

("When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last.") Revelation 1: 17 (ESV)
