Prayers Being used Today
In the great celebration in heaven,
John – the apostle – looked and saw this:
He saw a huge crowd – too huge to count. Everyone was there! All nations!
All the nations coming out of Africa, South America, North America, Asia, Australia and Oceania, Europe and Antarctica – all heartily singing:
Salvation comes from our God on his Throne!
And from Jesus, the Lamb.
John saw a huge crowd – too huge to count. Everyone was there!
All tribes!
Indigenous tribes like the Maori, Kazakh, Himba, Huli and Goroka tribes, and urban tribes like Punks, Hippies, Emos, Hipsters – people who are into pop music, hip hop, jazz and classical – all expressing in their own way:
Salvation comes from our God on his Throne!
And from Jesus, the Lamb.
John saw a huge crowd – too huge to count. Everyone was there!
All ethnic groups!
People of all skin-colours, hairstyles, height and width and bodyshapes – crying out with one voice:
Salvation comes from our God on his Throne!
And from Jesus, the Lamb.
John saw a huge crowd – too huge to count. Everyone was there!
All languages!
Mandarin, Spanish, English, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese and every single smaller language. Those that communicate with speaking, with writing, with pictures and in action – all making it clear that:
Salvation comes from our God on his Throne!
And from Jesus, the Lamb.
John saw a huge crowd – too huge to count. Everyone was there!
If everyone is there, they must be both:
Old and young,
Famous and unsung,
Theoretical and practical
Creative and mathematical,
Touchy-feely and reflectives,
Sleepy-heads and actives
All who were standing around the Throne, fell on their faces before the Throne and worshipped God, calling out with loud voices:
Amen!
Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks
and honour and power and strength
be to our God forever and ever. Amen!
