And I saw plenty of open sea
Some thousand feet deep in level
A mystery too deep to unravel
As I stood upon the sand of the beach
I saw a beast coming out with a breach
Raging ferociously
And speaking treacherously
As I turned toward east
Rising again is yet another beast
Having many heads and many horns
Sharp and piercing as of thorns
As I stared at this amazing wonder
A voice clapped as of great thunder
Saying hurt not them in white
Before God their ways are right
I listened to the first beast speech
With voice strung and tuned to pitch
‘If my reach exceeds my grasp
For air I’ll never gasp’
There appeared another sign
A throne grand and design
Attended by hosts of creatures
Readily prepared for the raptors
Descending from the heavenly high
Men mourned gravely with a sigh
At the sight of Him that sat therein
For judgment He was to reign
I saw a group of harpers harping
Inspiration of all inspired preaching
Singing the testimony of Jesus
Altogether in a formidable nexus
When we get to the river
Jordan
We will hold hands each of
us
When we cross the river
Jordan
We will lift our hands all
of us
We will stand upon mount
Gerizim
And behold the gates of
Zion
We will sing of the sacred
hymn
And enter through to Zion
I saw what I saw
Such a horror so raw
Fascinated me beyond measure
Such my mind will forever treasure
Fools will consider it a fable
These words are written and sealed
Let
everyone consider and take heed
