God Majesty on High

 Here is a poem weaving scripture on God's majesty on high, crafted as a prayerful offering:


**Ode to the Majesty on High**


O Thou, enthroned where seraphs veil their sight,

In realms unshadowed by created light,

Before Whose splendor stars like embers fade –

**"High and lifted up,"** as Isaiah said,

Your train alone fills temples with its might,

And **"Holy, Holy, Holy"** fills the night.

(Isaiah 6:1-3)


**Your throne, O Lord, stands firm from age to age,**

**Established long before earth's pilgrim stage.**

**You are robed in majesty, eternally arrayed,**

**Girded with strength no foe can e'er invade.**

The floods may lift their voice, the deep may roar,

But **mightier is the Lord on high, forevermore.**

(Psalm 93:1-4)


**The Son, the radiance of Your glory bright,**

**The perfect imprint of Your holy light,**

**Sustains all things by His commanding word,**

**Then sat down, Majesty's own King, adored,**

**At Your right hand, on Heaven's highest height,**

Purged our dark stain, made wrong forever right.

(Hebrews 1:3)


**What is man, that You mind his fragile frame?**

Yet crowned him with a reflected, lesser fame?

Beneath Your feet You laid moon, sun, and sea –

**Your majesty, O Lord, how can it be**

That You would stoop to lift a child of dust?

In awe we whisper, **"Lord, in You we trust."**

(Psalm 8:1-4, adapted)


Let every nation, tribe, and tongue now raise

A thunderous anthem of eternal praise!

**For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!**

**His majesty on high no limit contains.**

Let ocean's roar and mountain's peak agree:

**"Worthy is the Lamb, for all eternity!"**

(Revelation 19:6, Revelation 5:13)


So here I stand, a speck within Your gaze,

Lost in the wonder of Your ancient days,

Your present power, Your future yet unseen.

O Majesty on High, pure and serene,

**Let all the earth keep silence, Lord, before Thee,**

And bend my knee to worship, wild and free.

(Habakkuk 2:20)


**Amen.**


**Key Scripture References & Themes Explored:**


1.  **Isaiah 6:1-3:** The foundational vision of God's transcendent, heavenly throne, His overwhelming holiness ("High and lifted up," "Holy, Holy, Holy"), and the response of awe.

2.  **Psalm 93:1-4:** God's eternal, unshakeable kingship ("throne established"), His majesty as royal attire ("robed in majesty"), His supreme power over chaotic forces ("mightier than the thunder of the great waters").

3.  **Hebrews 1:3:** The majesty of Christ as the exact representation of God's being, His sustaining power, His work of purification, and His exaltation to the highest place ("sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high").

4.  **Psalm 8:1, 3-4:** The paradox of God's majestic glory displayed in creation ("majestic...in all the earth," "moon and stars...set in place") contrasted with His mindful care for seemingly insignificant humanity.

5.  **Revelation 19:6 & Revelation 5:13:** The ultimate, universal recognition and proclamation of God's (and the Lamb's) majesty and worthiness to reign forever.

6.  **Habakkuk 2:20:** The appropriate human response to encountering Divine Majesty: reverent silence and awe before the Holy One.


This poem moves from the awe-inspiring heavenly throne room, through declarations of God's eternal power and majesty in creation and redemption (especially through Christ), touches on the wonder of His care for humanity, and culminates in universal worship and a personal response of silent reverence and kneeling worship.
