O Lamb of God and Glory
“O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever: With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever. To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever: Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever: And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever: And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever: Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever: And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Psalms 136:1-26
O Lamb of God and Glory
O Lamb of God Most Holy One O Lamb of God unto Thee I come
O Lamb of God I lift You up on high O Lamb of God unto Thee I cry
O Lamb of God Thou hast heard my plea O Lamb of God You have sheltered me
O Lamb of God when Thy blood I plead O Lamb of God You intercede for me
O Lamb of God You have heard my voice O Lamb of God I praise Thee and rejoice
O Lamb of God Thou art the King of kings O Lamb of God unto Thee I sing
O Lamb of God Thou art the Lord of lords O Lamb of God I worship and adore
For Thou art worthy Yes Thou art worthy
Blessed Lamb My Lord and God Thou Who art the First Begot
For when I look into Thy face I am transformed by Thy pure grace
For Thou art Holy Yes Thou art Holy
Blessed Lamb O Prince of Peace All unto Thee shall bow their knees
And every tongue they shall confess Jesus Christ God’s Righteousness
For Thou art Glorious Yes Thou art Glorious
Blessed Lamb O Gospel Light For Thou hast risen back to life
And Thou hast conquered Death and Hell And in Thy Glory Thy Saints shall dwell
Thus I give you praise and thanks I bring For I’m unworthy to serve such a King
Thou Most Holy Lamb and High Priest of God Thou hast washed me in Thy blood
For Thou art Sinless and oh how Pure Tried and Triumphant so True and Sure
And Thou art so Faithful Thy Grace Abounds Until that Seventh Trumpet sounds
And on that Resurrection Day Thy Saints shall rise up from their graves
For when Thy Glory shall be revealed In Thy Saints yes Thou shalt fill
And in Thy likeness we shall rise To meet Thee standing upon the skies
And with Thy Glory we shall shine As the stars above divine
O Lamb of God Blessed Be O Lamb of Glory Thy Majesty
O Lamb of God Thy Praise I sing O Lamb of Glory Eternal King
O Lamb of God Most Worthy One O Lamb of Glory Thy Kingdom Come
For then forever we shall be With Thee our God and King Eternally
Thus I give Thee Thanks and declare Thy Name And hereby acknowledge Thy Renown and Fame
From the Heavens highest heights Unto Hell’s lowest descending sights
To the ends of the expansion Thou hast made To the deepest foundations Thou hast laid
In the Celestial Kingdom You have formed Unto the Terrestrial World You have borne
Let every creature great and small From the Creation to the fall
Acknowledge Thy Honor and give Thee thanks For You alone are only worthy to receive all Praise. © 2008 Raymond Bolton Pena
“And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:11-13
To Whom my Appreciation is Due
First and foremost I thank God for any and every blessing that He has so graciously bestowed upon my life. From allowing me to wake up this morning to simply blessing us here in America with drinkable tap water from our kitchen faucets. I thank God I am being healed mentally, emotionally and spiritually after the greatest and most fiery trying decade of my life. And not least at all I thank God for the merciful grace which He has given to me, my loved ones and even my enemies. I say enemies because were it not for His patience, loving kindness and grace in my own life, I would certainly be as lost as them and so I’m learning to love my enemies by considering God’s grace in my own undeserving life.
Secondly, I would like to personally acknowledge and thank Gary and Lisa Ruby of “Liberty to the Captives” for the Christ like love and compassion which they have shown to me in times of critical need. They sent me much needed financial relief and sacrificed out of their own needs, even denying themselves in order to help one of the least, such as I am. The concern and love which they have shown has really restored my faith in knowing that there are still people out there who have a Christly care for the struggling sheep of His fold.
They could really use your support but that’s not the only reason that I highly recommend Lisa Ruby’s book: “God’s Wrath on Left Behind.” I would also urge you to order this book for its Biblical accuracy in exposing the New Age, One World and Antichrist Agenda that is being insidiously taught through the Left Behind Series. I promise that after reading Lisa Ruby’s book, you will be left dumbfounded by the utterly shocking disclosures that she reveals hidden in the many unscriptural and outright sinful print subliminals that are found throughout the Left Behind Series.
And if I might add: In light of the fact that God has inspired such an obvious and easily understandable book to be written which exposes not only the utterly sinfulness but also the unscriptural, carnal, and worldly disposition of the writers of the “Left Behind Series.” I find it absolutely impossible to believe that these men could continue down their path of known darkness, (and leading such multitudes with them,) without realizing myself that they have cast a spell of fables upon the minds, hearts and souls of the masses after the working of Satan. And that with all deceivableness of unrighteousness they are purposely deceiving the multitudes of them that perish into a counterfeit spirituality of antichrist.
And because Gary and Lisa Ruby obeyed God and published this book, I do not need to proof text such a strong accusation. All you need to do is get and read a copy of “God’s Wrath on Left Behind” and you will see for yourself why “God’s wrath is indeed upon the Left Behind Series!” And why this series can be perfectly defined in four very telling and prophetic Bible verses which read as follows:
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” 2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12
Call me crazy, call me a lunatic, call me what you may. Yet I believe that the wholesale deception of the Christian masses through “The Left Behind Series” is in part a prophetic fulfillment of the very working of Satan described by the Apostle Paul in the above verses. And if you have been deceived by the damnable lie that this series represents, then you owe it to yourself to get a copy of “God’s Wrath on Left Behind.”
Thirdly: I thank God for my dear aging Father in Chicago and my disabled Mother here in Georgia who both have taken me in and supported me at various seasons when I was homeless and was suffering several disabling mental and even physical conditions like so many other homeless souls out there. Yet perhaps God knew that I needed those sufferings in order to be more understanding towards those I'm called to reach.
And lastly: I want to thank both my religious and secular enemies for every disheartening and cruel disgrace which they have shown against my soul. Because if it was not for all their persecutions, treacherous betrayals and cruel hatreds, I would never have broken free from the delusive illusions of life and false realities in which those spiritually blind souls all live. For in denying me the common compassion, consideration and even respect due to a dog, they did for me what I could never do for myself. In that they opened my eyes to their true hypocrisy and delivered me from walking after their own deceptions when I was too young in the faith to really discern the difference.
Thus, if it was not for their persecution and betrayals, I would have never seen the truth because I really did respect and hold them in the highest regard. And yet I owe the greater thanks to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, because were it not for the Spirit bringing their errors to my attention and then leading me to confront them with the Word of God to clear up any misunderstandings. They would have never of transformed into the ravening wolves which I evidently provoked into tearing out of the Sheep’s clothing they were hiding beneath.
And I know that many of my readers have experienced similar abuses of their misplaced trust in such counterfeit and career minded Ministers and their deceptive Ministries. And these confrontations can be very hostile against the peace loving Child of God who meekly confront such wolves to point out their errors in the naive belief that such serpents would see the error of their ways and repent. Yet you need not be offended, for it is written:
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12
This World No More
Your mind it draws a blank This world holds nothing more You feel like you’re living on the edge Of a hereafter to be no more
You go to Church and sit And you behold all the religious games You feel like a Pilgrim without a home And everything seems vain
We must lay hold of God And repent of this our sin We go to worldly Churches Why lie we can’t pretend?
Lord please hear our prayers Forgive our wayward souls Cleanse our hearts from sin And please wash us white as snow
Let us hear Thy voice Speak clearly once again Reprove, Rebuke, Exhort Until we comprehend
Whisper Thy sweet grace Open up our eyes Set ablaze our lukewarm hearts So that we wont compromise
Then send us to go forth That we might seek Thy face For only through true prayer Can we know such gloriously grace. © 2008 Raymond Bolton Pena Though the Articles and Poetic Contemplations on this Website are copyrighted, you are most welcome to make printed copies for free distribution only according to these conditions: You must copy them in their entirety, including the copyright notice at the end of each poem along with this notice of permission.
