Adoration in His Courts
©2003 Susan Watson

Standing in that holy place
Where mortal meets divine
I lift my hands amidst the saints
and add their song to mine

Bonded in our praise to You
Forgetting time and space
We, Your Bride, reach past this earth
though our bodies keep their place

As will one day be when You arrive
We meet you in our spirits
The ceiling lifts and soon we soar
confounding all earth's limits

Before our eyes, Your throne is seen
Your hands reach out for ours
A corporal throng we are no more
Our hearts course with your power

But before our journey to Your land
Can last for all eternity
Our spirits lead us back to earth
And we rejoin humanity

Faces flushed, tears undried,
We find ourselves earthbound again
Worship brought Your Bride to You
And one day with You we will remain

But for today, a moment only
Can we join the heavenly court
For we must return to show the world
The One we've just adored
