This song made me think of curcuit preacher Robert Sayers Sheffey’s time of Church revivals. So here’s the song and the front cover of the middle grade book that is slotted to publish this fall.

“And I heard like a voyce [voice] of a great multitude [converted to Christ], and as the voyce of many waters, and as the voyce of strong thundrings, saying, ‘Hallelu-iah: for the Lord that God that almightie [almighty] God hath reigned” (Rev. 19:6 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, the praises of Your people sing to You. How blessed is Your name. […]

“For true and righteous are his iudgements: for he hath condemned that great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath auenged [avenged] the blood of his seruants shed by her hand” (Rev. 19:2 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, help us to wait on You when justice is needed. You see all and know all. […]

“And after these things I heard a great voyce [voice] of a great multitude in heauen, saying, Hallelu-iah, saluation [salvation], and glorie [glory], and honour, and power be to the Lord our God” (Rev. 19:1 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father God, You are to be praised. Help us to remember to count our blessings even in the harsh times. In […]

“And they shall cast dust on their heads, and crie, weeping, and wayling[wailing], and say, ‘Alas, alas, that great citie, wherein were made rich all that had ships on the sea by her costlinesse [costliness]: for in one houre she is made desolate. O heauen, reioyce [rejoice] of her, and ye holy Apostles and Prophets: for God hath punished her […]

“These [kings] haue one minde, and shall giue their power, and authoritie vnto the beast. These shall fight with the Lambe [Lamb/Christ], and the Lambe shall ouercome them: for he is Lorde of Lordes, and King of Kings: and they that are on his side, called, and chosen, and faithful (Rev. 17:13, 14 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please […]

“And there were voyces, and thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were vpon the earth, euen so mightie an earthquake” (Rev. 16:18 [1587 Geneva Version]). Father, is this first part the voices of the apostles? Is the second part the voices of the reformers such as […]

“And I sawe as it were a glassie [glassy] sea, mingled with fire, and them [Disciples/Believers] that had gotten victorie [victory] of the beast, and of his image, and of his marke, and of the number of his name, stand at the glassie sea, hauing the harpes [harps] of God” (Revelation 15:2 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, if we stay faithful in You and […]

“These are they [one hundred forty-four thousand], which are not defiled with women: for they are virgins: these followe the Lambe [Christ] whithersoeuer [where ever] he goeth: these are bought [by God] from men, being the first fruites vnto God, and to the Lambe” (Revelation 14:4 [1587 Geneva Version]). Father, help us to follow the […]

“Then I looked, and lo, a Lambe [Christ] stood on mount Sion, and with him an hundreth, fourtie and foure thousand, hauing his Fathers Name written in their foreheads” (Revelation 14:1 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we want Your name written in our foreheads our minds. Please help us to get back up when we stumble. […]
