Acacia & Gold (Pt. 2)

IF HEAVEN IS THE THRONE

WHERE IS THE FOOTSTOOL?

WHAT CATHEDRAL HELD THE PRESENCE?

WHAT TEMPLE TRULY 

CAN CONTAIN THE LORD?

WOOD AND STONE 

IS POOR SUBSTANCE FOR SPIRIT

GOD WILL NOT REMAIN SEVERED 

FROM THE BODY OF HIS PEOPLE 

A BEATING HEART REPLACED THE ARK

FOR HEWN STONE PALES IN CRAFT

TO ADAM HE DRAFTED 

THE KNOWN ON ITS OWN 

ISN'T THE WHOLE

THERE REMAINS A PART BENEATH

DEPTHS UNREACHABLE

RED BLOOD CLOUDS 

AS EYES LACK VISION

A STRANGE FATE BEFALLS 

A MANKIND TRAPPED IN SIN

DEATH IS OBVIOUS

YET EYES AFFIXED TO NATURAL 

EXCEEDS DEATH'S BARBARISM

A BLIND RACE WAS LOVED 

AS MEN HUNG ONTO SIN

ABRAHAM'S SEED 

CARRY FIRE IN ALTARS

THE TROOP ANOINTED 

LEAD THE WAY TO ZION

GOD'S PURITY A MUST TO ASCEND

DEATH MEANT DUOMOS OF DUST

HANDLED A SPIRIT 

HOLY LIGHT IN WICKED AGES 

OH, WHY CAN'T WE ALL 

FORGIVE A SINNER AS GOD COULD?

THE SHINING FORTH OF IMMANUEL

LIT THE WICKS OF FAITH

SWEET SCENTS SKYWARD 

A PRAYER TO HIM BLOOMS

ITS AROMA WREATHS THE ALTAR

VOICES OF THE ANGELS SOAR

SOUNDS RING IN A SANCTUM OF HIS PEACE

THE FAMILIES OF THE ASHEN WORLD

MOURN AS DREAMS PAINFULLY DIE

YET A TOTAL CHANGE OF DESTINY AWAITS

AT HUMANITY'S END OF RULE

THE SHEAF IN THE WHEATFIELD

GATHERED BY ANGELS

TAKEN IN CHARIOTS

AT ONCE ON A MOUNTAIN

ZION-BORN AS MANCHILD CROWNED

PEALS OF LAUGHTER

CLAPS OF THUNDER

ORION'S BELT LOOSED

TO CONTAIN ALL HIS FARE

A WINE GOBLET IS FULL

A TOAST IS THEN PROCLAIMED

FOR THE BRIDE OF THE HOLY LAMB

FAULTLESS, NOT MERELY IMPUTED 

HER WHITE GOWN AGLIMMER BY HER ACTS

RADIATES WITH LIGHT 

RIGHTEOUS HEART

LOVE IMBUES A WARMTH

FOR ONLY BY ITS WITNESS 

WILL SHE BE KNOWN

THE SONG OF CHOIRS FADE AWAY

AS THE PRIEST ENTERS WITH INCENSE 

EACH STEP 

THROUGH THE ANCIENT BLUE VEIL

APPROACHES THE HOLY PRESENCE 

AS KINGDOMS FALL AND NATIONS WAIL

NO ACT CAN BEFALL THE ELECT 

WITHOUT THE OFFICIAL SEAL OF THE KING

PROTECTING HIS CHILDREN

OF A FATHER'S LOVE, A SON IS BEGOTTEN

HIS DAUGHTERS COME FROM MAJESTY

FAMILY A PORTRAIT OF HEAVEN

BOLD WITNESS ON AN EARTH HOPING 

TO REGAIN AN ORIGINAL STATE OF BLISS

COSMIC STRUGGLE MERELY A BACKDROP

FINAL BATTLE A FANTASY 

IF CHURCH KNOWLEDGE OF HIS RECORD

ADDS NOTHING TO UNDERSTANDING 

HEARTS OF REPENTANCE 

ARE VESSELS OF HONOR

MADE FOR MINISTRY 

LED TO THE INNER COURTS

PURE JOY SHALL AWAIT 

ZADOK'S ASSEMBLY

LED BY THE SPIRIT IN ONE ACCORD

MANY VOICES SINGING WISDOM

HUMAN HEARTS REMAIN 

THE UTMOST FRONTIER

THE BATTLEFIELD THAT YET WILL BE

THE TRIUMPH OF GOD'S MERCY 

OUR SAVIOR OF MAN

HEAVEN'S GENIUS IS MASTER OF MY WORK

TO MARK ALL MY HUMANNESS DOWN FOR A RECORD

ADDING TO KNOW-HOW THAT, ALONE, I COULDN'T GET

DO I UNDERSTATE SHOWN WISDOM? 

A MAN'S VALUE'S IN HUMILITY

FOR WHOM THE LORD,

PLEASING TO SHOW MAN HIMSELF, CALLS

ANSWER

IN WHOM THE LORD PUT WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING TO KNOW HOW TO WORK ALL MANNER OF WORK
