At The Foot of Your Throne

I find myself, LORD, at the foot of Your throne,

Once more completely, intentionally alone.

The deep melodies of praise

I might normally raise

Seem like a distant, untenable groan.



I worship you LORD, at the foot of Your throne,

A treasured experience, silently alone.

With a glimpse You can see

My heart open and free

There are no corners that contain an unknown.



I adore You, LORD, at the foot of Your throne,

Lovingly, amazingly, delightfully alone.

I will stay for the length

To receive divine strength,

I bend lower before You, now prone.



I admit while I’m here at the foot of Your throne,

It was nearly impossible to be this alone.

Every task, need and chore

Seems to holler, “Oh, there’s more!”

They all tap in – exhausting me to the bone.



But I have to stay here at the foot of Your throne,

I dare not postpone this delicious ALONE.

I need Your hidden manna,

Your promised bidden manna –

Please revive this poor heart – refresh, atone.



I remain with you LORD at the foot of Your throne

There is no one else here, but I am not alone –

You are here, You are near,

Your presence never domineers

There is deep love flowing in this Divine Prayer Zone.



Your hidden manna, Your deep strength is the key,

This bidden manna, restoring this empty me.

Please bring a bowlful, a plateful, a cup

Of Your sweet hidden manna, my weary hands reach up

To find a taste of Your manna

Your hidden, bidden manna.

Restore me with honey sweet hidden manna today.

He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. "To him that overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." Revelation 2:17 NIV

Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to the entire Israelite community, 'Come before the LORD, for He has heard your hearts.'" While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the LORD appearing in the cloud. The LORD said to Moses, "I have heard the hearts of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat and in the morning you will be filled with bread.. Then you will know that I AM the LORD your God.'" That evening quail came and covered the whole camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. The people called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey. Exodus 16:9-14; 31. NIV
