Shh…listen! Can you hear it?
The call to worship! Listen
To the whirring of seraph wings as
They hover around the greatest throne,
The music of angel voices as they sing
The melody of highest praise, “Holy, holy,
Holy is the Lord God Almighty!” With wings
Of power, they circle the throne, hiding
Their faces from the stunning glory
Of the Lord of hosts, and the foundations
Shake as heaven reverberates with the
Echoes of their praise, “Holy! Holy! Holy!”
Smoke rises, obscuring all from view
Except the King of Kings, the Ancient of Days,
The Lord of Life and Glory, Maker of All,
Brilliant in splendor, seated upon His
Flaming throne. We bow in worship,
Overwhelmed with holy awe and wonder.

‘Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD” (Psalm 89:15 NLT).
It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me” (Isaiah 6:1-8 NLT).
"As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze” (Daniel 7:9 NIV).
