REASON FOR JOY
Can you hear it?
Can you see it?
All heaven is hushed and waiting.
Will he do it?
Will she?
They’re mine, Satan says.
I have a list of their crimes, Satan says.
Quiet! The Father says.
Many prayers have been said.
Vials of sweet incense poured upon the altar.
Angels have been dispatched.
Keep them safe, is the Father’s decree.
A word quietly, urgently spoken
He’s hushed
She’s thinking
Tears
Words
Folded hands
Bowed heads
Forgive me
I’m sorry
I accept you
The singing starts
The party begins
The Father smiles
He is mine
She is mine
But- Satan says.
Be gone! Don’t you see the Savior’s blood?
The heavenly choir sings
The saints who have gone before are joyous
The Father smiles
The four beasts with six wings and full of eyes, who rest not day or night say:
Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty
Which was, and is, and is to come. Revelation 4:8 (KJV)
The twenty-four elders fall down before Him that sat on the throne and worship Him who liveth forever and ever and cast their crowns before the throne saying:
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor, and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:10-11 (KJV)
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:7 (KJV)
