The King's Chambers!
(Frank Hall)
"The KING has brought
me into HIS chambers!"
Song of Songs 1:4
Come and enter with me into
the private chambers of our LORD
and let us enjoy the rich, spiritual
splendors of our Husband the KING.
Enter in child of GOD, and marvel
with me at the ornate, soul cheering
luxuries of these gospel chambers.
HIS heavenly furnishings, decor,
curtains, and tapestries are
the most extravagant beauties
you have ever seen!
They cost a king's ransom;
for the KING purchased each
one with HIS own precious blood.
Look up, down, and all around
and you will notice that every
wall is white, seamless,
spotless, and pure.
Righteousness is the color
of choice in these stately halls.
The floors are firm, unshakable,
and clear as crystal--
built from the sweat, blood, tears,
and labor of the KING HIMSELF.
Do you see the stairs--
how shimmering, brilliant, and
bright. Each step was quarried
from Mount Calvary and is an
everlasting memorial to a
journey once made by the KING
that HE will never make again;
for it was at Calvary that
HIS people crucified HIM as
the unwanted JESUS.
Look there in the corner--
do you see that golden chest
covered with love and encrusted
with glory? That's where the KING
keeps HIS most treasured possession,
a precious book that HIS FATHER
gave to HIM ages ago--
The LAMB'S Book of Life.
Long ago, before the earth, moon,
and stars adorned the heavens,
the KING'S FATHER took
the sovereign pen of eternal
election in HIS hand and
inscribed in everlasting ink
the names of a precious few.
These are the names of the royal
seed, the KING'S precious children,
those whom HE loves, for whom
HE died, for whom HE reigns
as KING over all.
To these elect ones the KING
sends HIS SPIRIT. To them
HE gives the gift of faith that
they too might be brought
into these royal chambers
and stately halls.
These believing ones, like us,
are brought here by the KING.
They come as we have come
to refresh ourselves, to enjoy,
to marvel, and to bask in the secret
wonders of the KING'S redeeming love,
everlasting mercy, and immutable
purpose of grace and salvation!
