Tune: All Saints
('Who are these like stars appearing?')
Revelation 2 v.7-13
*******
Message to Philadelphia
Ears to listen, they did stir
Message from the one holy, true
He has key of David too
He opens, no man shuts, no
He shuts, no man opens, so
I know your works, behold I set
An open door '[be]fore you yet
And no man can shut it here for
I see your little strength sure
You my word have kept, no blame
Have not denied my great name
Behold, I will make them who be
Of Satan's synagogue, see
Who say they are Jews, but are not
This even will be their lot
They shall come and worship you
Knowing I have loved you true
Because you have kept the word here
To be patient, persevere
I also will keep you, guard you
Frome hour of trial too
From temptation, comes anon
On the world to try each one
Behold, I come quickly, hold fast
That which you have, make it last
So that no one does take your crown
I will bring you fame, renown
They that overcome I will
Make pillar in Temple still
And they shall no more then go out
But remain firm with no doubt
And I will upon them too write
The name of my God, fine sight
And name of my God's city
Heaven's Jerusalem it be
And I hall write on them, inscribe
My new name among their tribe
They shall be rewarded, valued
In the ir God shall be renewed
So let them that have an ear
Hear the Spirit and draw near

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 88 88 77 metre. One of the seven churches in Revelation. The Philadelphia in Turkey it is (Alasehir), not the one in USA! Well, the message might apply there too!

A lot of this is in symbolic language. I don't pretend to understand it all, though I aim to keep the poem in simple language. The hymn in the clip is also from Revelation - Chapter 7. You singing it with dignity, as it says? The only undignified singing is mine. heehee.
We could form a duo Orchi and create an overnight sensation - even better there would be no stray cats in the garden.
Oh yes, M!
Good write, that worship will strengthen all the time.
Thanks Gold.
