The throne

Revelation 3:21

To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.


When we think of God above on his throne 
It’s easy to think about us down here below

And the space between that keeps us apart
But that is a wrong place for your thoughts to start

So, let’s unpack this one thought in rhyme
So that we may better understand it in time.

Our union with God was meant to be
As in the garden till split by the tree

They had much in common as you already know
As they walked through the garden in love, to and fro

Man in God’s image and His Likeness was
Completed in Eve as they shared this love

They shared in his image and His likeness too
Just as the prophets as me and as you

And this was the challenge that we are rent by our choice
That caused us to depart from hearing God’s voice

For when we pursue the things that are outside of his hands
It leads us away in to foreign lands

As in those times, we cannot return
The way that we came, from what we have learned. 

And far from man's mind were thought of God's throne
How we'd return and be again home.

But this is not a journey that man can complete
Without God descending for man to him meet

And this is not something that God can restore
Unless man hears him as he did before

And this is not something could be done by any
But needed one person to take the lead for the many

And this one person needed to be mother of all
To accept the way back after the fall

In hearing the angel, she meekly obliged
To know God in a way so we can in kind

She made a way for God to be known
In accepting him, becoming His throne

What does this mean if ever you knew?
That God desires the same for you

For Theotokos was God's bearer and mother
Enabling us to change from one thing to another

From bearing a shame that made us want to hide
To bearing his name with a new life

We are Theophorous as we bear him too
And bearing him means sharing him too

We are to carry him where ever we go
Until the day that when we return home. 

When we return as victor and heirs
Overcoming the world and all of it’s cares

And this return to how we should be
Is walking with Christ who hung on the tree

Who knocks loudly with the sounds of each nail
To wake us from sleep whenever we fail

Who calls us by name that we may come
And attend the banquet of the Risen Son

Whose victory over death did become ours
So, we may too rely on God's power

And all of this so we may return home
And be seated with him upon his throne. 

For this is the promise to hearers of his
that upon their victory they be granted this

To sit in heaven with God on his throne
As he sat with you, when you felt alone. 


So now you can see through being his throne
That you carry him where ever you roam. 

And now in this season where God became man
We see laid out his divine plan

The Lord God who was seated above
Came down from heaven because of his love

Yeah, The Lord God of heaven arose from his throne
And came down to earth that he may bring us home.
