“Blessed and holy is he, that hath part in the first resurrection: for on such the second death hath no power: but they shall be the Priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand yeere [years]” (Rev. 20:6 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Your wonderous works are because of Your love.

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 to her [Christ’s Church] was granted, that she should be arrayed with pure fine linen and shining, for the fine linen is the righteousnesse of Saints” (Rev. 19:8 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, those who follow Your Son by Your grace and in all You ask of them, are the Saints of His Church.

“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. […]

“Then a voyce [Christ’s] came out of the throne, saying, ‘Prayse [Praise] our God, all ye his seruants [servants], and ye that feare [fear] him, both small and great’” (Rev. 19:5 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You are to be praised continually. You are our Creator. Please help us to never forget this. In Christ’s loving name we ask. Hallelujah~

“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 […]
