When false claims
To authority were silenced,
I saw the Lord, high and exalted
And the glory of His divineness
Filled up the temple
The angels covered their eyes
One cried, “Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
At which the doorposts
And foundations trembled
And the place was filled up with smoke
I said, “Woe is me, for I am undone
The words I have uttered
Have made me unclean
And I dwell in the company
Of people like me;
Of people like me;
For my eyes have seen
The LORD of hosts, the King”
Then an angel flew
From the altar to me
And touched my mouth
With a coal still burning
Saying to me, “Behold,
This has touched your lips;
Your sin’s been removed,
Your iniquity purged”
Then the voice of the Lord,
Spoke and I heard:
“Whom shall I send
And who, for Us, will go?”
I said, “Here am I! Send me”
And the Lord said to me, “Go,
Tell the people, for Me:
Keep on hearing, but don’t understand
Keep on hearing, but don’t understand
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive
Make the heart of this people dull
Their ears heavy, their eyes sealed
Lest they see and hear
And know with their heart
And return and be healed

Isaiah 6:1-10
