If it weren't so late tonight, I would be swigging down some grape juice, eating fig newtons (my favorite cookie) and looking for the jar of olives.
 
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!
 
No more crying there, we are going to see the King!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!
 
No more dying there, we are going to see the King!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!
 
Should there be any rivers we must cross,
Should there be any mountains we must climb,
God will supply all the strength that we need,
Give us grace till we reach the other side.
We have come from every nation
but God knows each of us by name
For Jesus took His blood and
He washed our sins away.
Oh yes, there were some of us
Who have laid down our lives
But we shall all live again
On the other side.
 
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King!!
Hallelujah!!  Hallelujah!!
 
Thank you Andre Crouch.
 
I love the thought that we have come from every nation, we are almost numberless and yet He knows each of us by name.  He knows my name!!  I am His Child and He knows my name!
 
I love to hear the song "I can Only Imagine".  It is quite a favorite for funerals and my son sang it at both my Mother's and my Father's funerals.  I can only imagine what it will be like.  Will I dance for you, Jesus, or in awe of you be still.
 
I was reading and contemplating Daniel yesterday and this jumped out and just bit me on the nose!  Daniel, what a prophet of God, what a holy man!  He sees the Angel Gabriel and was afraid and fell on his face.  "Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face tothe ground: but he touched me, and stood me upright."  Then Gabriel explains the vision.  Daniel's response, and this was perhaps a reaction to the content of the vision, was to faint and feel sick for days afterward.  In Chapter 10, he has another vision "no strength remained in me; for my vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength."  Again his face was to the ground.  And when Gabriel reached out and touched him, it "made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands".  Gabriel has to tell him to stand up.  "I stood trembling."
 
Moses?  Moses took off his shoes and hid his face in the presence of God.
 
When Isaiah was called to be a prophet and was transported to the throne room of God, he cried out, "Woe is me, for I am undone!  Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of Hosts."    For some reason, I cannot picture Isaiah standing up and declaring that.  I see him face down on the ground.  Just like Daniel.
 
Saul AKA Paul fell to the ground when he encountered the Lord on the Damascus Road.  He was trembling and blind afterward.
 
John's response to his vision in Revelation was "when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things."
 
These were great and might men of God.  I am in no way, shape or form liken unto them.  If Isaiah felt unworthy to be in His presence, how much more unworthy will I feel?
 
I think that when we get to Heaven it will be "in awe of You be still".  I don't think I will be uttering a sound or standing upright at first.  I think we will all be face down and trembling in His presence.  The angels did encourage the prophets to stand upright and maybe that will also happen to us and then we can raise our voices in praise and sing "Hallelujah!!  Hallelujah!!  We have come to see the King!!
