I Saw The Lord

The place was white as snow
and pure as finest gold.
It had the look of new,
yet had the look of old.
I felt like I was home,
but felt so far away,
In fear I thought to leave,
but felt the urge to stay.

And then a silence fell
like none I'd ever known.
I stood among the millions,
I stood there all alone.
His face was like the sun,
His eyes were like the sea,
His voice was like the thunder
rolling through eternity.

And...
I saw the Lord
He was high and lifted up
and rightfully adored

And...
I saw the Lord
and He saw me

And then from sleep awakened
I looked into the night.
The darkness overtaken
By a bright and shining light.
I couldn't understand it
I couldn't reason how,
And then my eyes beheld Him
I wasn't dreaming now

And...
I saw the Lord
He was high and lifted up
And rightfully adored,

And...
I saw the Lord
And He saw me.
