Marching Around The Throne
R. J. Brown, 1984  

(1)
Marching around the throne
In Gloryland,
We'll sing that song alone
That no angel can.
Angels may try;
Say they can fly.  So will I,
When I am caught up by Jesus' hand.

(Chorus)
I love You
Jesus.  I love You
Almighty God.
You saved me,
Died in place for me,
Shed holy blood,
Rose again.
Since you were my friend,
You did the most:
By grace, You gave me the Holy Ghost.

(2)
Old Father Abraham
Wrote out a check,
Paid tithes, and gave a lamb
To Melchizedek,
A priest most high
Not of the line of Levi.
With Jesus, Abraham stacked the deck.

(3)
Around the wilderness,
Moses' eyes loomed.
He saw a burning bush
That was not consumed,
Took off his shoes,
Heard the Lord tell him the news
About Egypt, and down that way he zoomed.

(4)
The Lord led Israel,
Nomadic band.
Gave them a tabernacle
That He had planned.
Pillar of smoke by day,
"Follow me," He spoke to say.
Ten laws were written by His hand.

(5)
Nebuchadnezzar
Had three Hebrews thrown
Into the furnace
Rather than have them stoned.
The guards were killed.
That the Lord's will be fulfilled,
A fourth figure to the king was shown.

(6)
Dreaming about three thrones:
Fantasy land.
All of creation groans
'Cause that's so unplanned.
There can only be one
With the power to run
All the creations of His hand.

(7)
Standing before His face
On that great day,
I will have won the race
Because I did pray,
"Lord, I have sinned;
Give me the Spirit within."
Baptized in His name, the only way.

(8)
Gazing upon the shore
Of the crystal sea,
His light shines evermore
Through eternity.
Nothing to fear,
I'll nevermore shed a tear,
Since my God has truly redeemed me.
