how awesome is the LORD Most High?
we shower Him with praise
thinking of halcyon days
while preparing for
a new heaven on earth
but what is a new heaven really
but a new consciousness
attained through surrender
to your steadfast love?
then become one with you,
O LORD, & we become
new men and women
astounded by the ways
you bring peace to our hearts
& descend to the
darkest of dark depths
to shine eternal light
that redeems us all
Author’s Note: The first line of this poem is taken from Psalm 47 from the New International Version of the Holy Bible. I’ve been reading the Psalms again, and my idea was to use lines from them as a poetry prompt to create “Alternative Psalms” applied to the 21st century world.
