Heaven Opens

The veil is not just torn, it is withdrawn, A gateway in the fabric of the dawn. Not just a glimpse,a crack, a distant gleam, But heaven opens in a living stream.

The firmament parts wide at Your command, No longer distant,no more far-off land. The storehouses of blessing,held in trust, Pour out their rain upon the waiting dust.

Let it be now, upon this place, this heart, Let Your kingdom come,and nevermore depart. As on Your Son at Jordan’s flowing stream, Let the Spirit descend in radiant beam.

Not just for one, but for all who believe, Who in that name find refuge and receive. Let angels ascend on promises we pray, And descend with mercy on our road today.

Let glory and common ground entwine right here, Your voice be clear,Your presence ever near. Let heaven’s open door frame all my view, And every step I take,I take with You.

For Jacob’s ladder stands, a living cord, Connecting us to our eternal Lord. A highway for the holy and the blessed, Where the weary find His everlasting rest.

So open heaven. Let Your will be done, In me,through me, as under sun or sunless dome. Let Your kingdom come.

Amen.

The Scripture Behind the Poem:

This prayer draws from several powerful moments in Scripture where heaven was opened:

· At Jesus' Baptism: "Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove." (Mark 1:10)

· Jacob's Ladder: "He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it." (Genesis 28:12)

· Stephen's Vision: "But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.'" (Acts 7:55-56)

· A Prophetic Promise: "You will see the heavens open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." (John 1:51)

· The Ultimate Open Heaven: "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven..." (Revelation 4:1)
