An Audience
An Audience with the Sovereign
Has been ever the longing of wise men
Who have sought His Majesty to greet
To but kiss His nail-scarred feet.
Whence have they come to humble stead
Where pride and arrogance fear to tread?
How are they come to base estate
That most abhor with loathing great?
How is it there number is so lone
Who cross the courtyard to His throne?
What caused the multitude to scatter
Before conclusion of this matter?
Perhaps the answer is yet found
In the price to traverse Holy ground
As Providential audience is lost
As meager they who brave the cost
Harsh is the cord of Sovereign scourging
That fashions men of Godly forging
Whose inward parts are made to roar
Whose soul is melted to its core
Reward awaits these who so endure
Reward unending, evermore
An audience with God of those not meet
A chance to kiss His nail-scarred feet
