Lead us to your heavenly throne.

 Lead Us to Your Heavenly Throne

A Reflection on Hebrews 4:16, Revelation 3:21, and Revelation 22:3-4

Lead us to Your heavenly throne—not a distant, golden seat,

But the very center of Your presence, where Your love and glory meet.

Not a place for trembling servants, but a welcome for a child,

Where the broken are made whole and the restless are beguiled.

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

Lead us through the open curtain, the veil torn in two,

Where the blood of Jesus speaks a better word for me and you.

No longer barred from entering the Holy of Holies,

We come with boldness, singing, “Holy, holy, holy!”

To the throne—not of judgment, but of grace and endless love,

Where the King of kings sits robed in light, yet looks on us from above.

He does not turn away His face; He welcomes us to draw near,

To pour out all our praises and to cast out every fear.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Revelation 3:21)

Lead us to Your throne—not just in future hope,

But in this moment, in our worship, in our struggle to cope.

For the throne is not a distant place, but a present, living reality

Where You rule and reign in mercy, shaping our mortality.

And when the final day arrives, and heaven comes to earth,

We will stand before Your throne and sing of our new birth.

No more curse, no more night, no more sorrow or pain,

Only Your face, Your name, Your everlasting reign.

The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face. (Revelation 22:3-4)

Lead us to Your heavenly throne, O Lord. We come.

Through Jesus Christ, our way, our truth, our home.

Amen.
