River

2781

A pure river 

 

Water of life 

 

Clear as crystal 

 

Out of the throne 

 

No more curse 

 

He makes us a home.

 

In the midst of the street 

 

Each side of the river 

 

The tree of life 

 

Its fruit from the giver 

 

To heal the nations 

 

Its leaves shall not wither

 

His servants shall serve Him

 

And see His face 

 

His name on their foreheads no more disgrace.

 

There shall be no night 

 

Or light from the sun 

 

God is their light 

 

Glory to the One 

 

He has shown his servants the things that must come.

 

Behold He comes quickly 

 

Keep the sayings of the book 

 

God we must worship 

 

To Him we must look. 

 

Let each man be as he is still 

 

Behold He comes quickly 

 

A reward has He

 

Each man's work will be tested 

 

According to their works it shall be.

 

The alpha and the omega the beginning and end 

 

Blessed are all those that know him as friend.

              Many biblical references here (the river, tree of life, fruit, God as light)I always thought it interesting that Alpha and Omega are Greek terms not Hebrew. A nice flow to this piece.

              It's an interpretation of the final chapter.
