Quite a while ago I wrote a poem for Idylls for the King, the Christian literary blog I contribute to (which is on summer hiatus right now). I realized that I had never posted this poem here and that some of those who read here might enjoy it as well. I also think it fits well with my theme of prayer that brings us closer to God because it is about the character of God. It is His character as Holy that we come to know better when prayer is focused on our relationship with Him.
Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy is my Father
On high He sits and reigns
Loves us as sons and daughters
You and I His domain
Holy is the Son
On the cross was slain
Lamb of God, the Perfect One
You and I to gain
Holy is the Spirit
Our comforter in pain
Leading from the pit
You and I He sustains
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”Isaiah 6:1-3 (NIV).
