On Heaven's Throne
by
Linda Dousay
I’ve given
some—I’ve given all—
I’ve pushed away and held some near—
I’ve drunk the bitter cup of gall—
I’ve cast away the thought of fear—
I’ve loved a week and loved for years—
But, the truest love I’ve ever known,
that healed all pain and dried all tears,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.
I’ve jumped the gun and broke the stall—
I’ve sailed through storms till all was clear—
I’ve swam the length and played hard ball—
I’ve broke the ropes and learned to steer—
I’ve played in faith and run in fear—
But, the fairest game I’ve ever known,
the race that won the biggest cheer,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.
I’ve known musicians great and small—
I’ve felt the lust and heard the cheers—
I’ve seen some rise and watched some fall—
I’ve laughed with some and shared some tears—
I’ve filled our days with wine and beer—
But, the sweetest song I’ve ever known,
the one I long the most to hear,
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.
If I could write a thousand years
and reap the wheat my words have sown,
the Word that calmed my deepest fears—
was One I found on Heaven’s throne.
