I saw the Lord
    shadow and flame

    1 I saw the Lord
    High and exalted - Exalted on high
    I saw the Lord
    Isaiah 6
    I saw the Lord seated on a throne
    high and exalted
    and the train of his robe filled the temple.
    Above him were seraphs,
    each with 6 wings:
    with 2 they covered their face,
    with 2 they covered their feet,
    and with 2 they were flying.
    And they were calling to one another:
    "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
    the whole earth is full of his glory."
    At the sound of their voices
    the doorposts and thresholds shook
    and the temple was filled with smoke.
    "Woe to me!" I cried.
    "I am ruined!
    For I am a man of unclean lips...
    and my eyes have seen the King,
    the LORD Almighty."
    Then one of the seraphs flew to me
    with a live coal in his hand,
    which he had taken
    with tongs from the altar.
    With it he touched my mouth and said,
    "See, this has touched your lips;
    your guilt is taken away
    and your sin atoned for."
    2 I saw the Lord
    Holy God, creation is full of your glory
    I saw the Lord
    Seraphs
    And the seraphs cried out to each other
    Holy! Holy! Holy is the Lord
    The earth is full of His glory!
    And the seraphs called out His glory!
    Holy! they cry
    Aah Holy! they cry
    Now how can I live?
    For my eyes do condemn me!
    Give me burning coals
    That I might be cleansed
    For I am unclean
    And my sins do condemn me
    Give me burning coals
    That I might be cleansed
