Today... 'Diadem' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Diadem'



You are the Diadem of all diadems
and by far the most precious of all the gems.
A Jewel amongst jewels beyond compare.
All heaven and earth Your great glory declare.

Seated in heavens' centre and shining bright.
A crown of glory and such a wondrous sight.
A pure Diamond each facet portraying
and all aspects of the Divine displaying.

The Lord of glory in clear crystalline splendour
shines in holiness so majestic and pure.
The marriage of the Lamb in heaven takes place
to those You have redeemed from the human race.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Isaiah 28: 5-6
In that day the LORD of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people, For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

Isaiah 62: 2-4
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. You will be a crown of splendour in the LORD's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married.

All quotations ©NIV

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The Diadem'
