  📝 LYRICS Verse 1 (Soft, weathered — old voice, vast quiet) I am John… your brother… and companion in the trial… Exiled to this rock… Patmos… many mile… On the Lord’s own day… in the Spirit caught away… Behind me… a voice… like a trumpet… began to say… “I am the Alpha… the Omega… the First and the Last… Write what you see… and send it to the churches… fast…” Verse 2 (Trembling — the vision unfolds) I turned to see the voice… and seven golden lampstands stood… And in the midst… One like the Son of Man… robed and good… Head white as snow… eyes like flames of fire… Feet like bronze refined… voice like waters… entire… In His right hand… seven stars… a sharp two-edged sword… Face like the sun… shining in full strength… the Lord… Pre-Chorus (Barely audible — fallen to His feet) I fell at His feet… as though dead… But He laid His right hand on me… and said… “Do not be afraid… I am the First and the Last… I am He who lives… and was dead… and behold… I am alive… forevermore…” Chorus (Vast, soaring — heaven opens) I SAW THE KING! 👑🔥 EYES OF FIRE AND HEART OF MERCY! DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM… THE GRAVE COULD NOT CLAIM! HE HOLDS THE KEYS… OF DEATH AND THE GRAVE! ALPHA AND OMEGA… BEGINNING AND END… LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION… YET STANDING… FRIEND! HE IS COMING… HE IS COMING… SOON… 🙌🌅✨ Verse 3 (Awestruck, radiant) Then He showed me heaven… the throne and the sea of glass… Living creatures… elders… casting crowns before His face… Holy, holy, holy… Lord God Almighty… Who was… and is… and is to come… eternally… A new heaven… a new earth… He makes all things new… “Behold… I stand at the door… and knock… if anyone hear… and open too… I will come in… and dine with them… and they with Me…” Bridge (Soft, intimate — the final promise) He said… “These words are faithful and true… I am the Root and the Offspring of David… the bright Morning Star… The Spirit and the Bride say… Come… And let him who hears… say… Come… And let him who thirsts… come… Whoever desires… take the water of life… without price…” (Whisper — breathless) Even so… Lord Jesus… come… 💛🕊️ Final Chorus (Soaring, eternal — all heaven sings) HE IS THE FIRST! HE IS THE LAST! HE IS THE LAMB… AND THE LION… FOREVER PAST! DEATH IS DEFEATED… THE CURSE IS UNDONE! BEHOLD… HE COMES… FOR HIS OWN! SURELY… I COME QUICKLY… AMEN… COME… LORD JESUS… ✨ Outro (Whisper — harp fades, distant sea) The grace of the Lord Jesus… be with you all… Amen… ✨   Who this is: John — the last apostle, aged, exiled, alone on a barren island. The world thinks he’s forgotten. But on that rock, heaven breaks open. He sees the end — and the beginning. He sees the suffering, the churches, the throne, the new creation — and the final word: Come. The gospel that began in a manger, walked the roads of Galilee, died on a cross, rose from the grave, and spread to the nations — ends with a promise that echoes through time: Surely I come quickly.
