Sapphire

Upon a hilltop is a city with walls built of fire
for a glory for a defense for inside her walls
requests are rising higher
angels enter glory on a ladder stretched from earth
she answers every gaze in sapphire vision
etched with worth
The wealth and the treasure on the inside
burn from her eyes
in transparent, brilliant blue that burns completely
and colors the skies
she's tried by fire, yet not consumed
she scents her praise with sweet perfume
Fire eyes come light the skies tonight
and send down angels from your throne
to pierce the darkness with their sabers of light
as i rest my head upon this stone
Cut diamonds shimmer from all angles
and burned glazes shine
gold always becomes much more precious
when passed through the flame
she's bathed in promises and she's renewed in her mind
as angels descend again-preparing her
to carry her away
She's under siege encamps the adverse might
but on these city walls she's not alone
a thousand chariots line the hills tonight
to rock the forces that oppose the throne
Descends a city and she's arrayed in light
the day has dawned when you shall take my name
she's set apart she's clothed in radiant white
the day has dawned when i will call you mine
for i am the same yesterday, today, and forever
