Carpet Red

.
In great favor divine,
the King of kings' carpet red
runs the length from His mercy seat
to the foot of His forever royal dais
     and beyond that
          all the way
               to the court's gates,
for when we choose,
in reverent confidence,
assuming there's still time,
to step into the saving red waters
     of the river of His sacrifice sublime.
 

Isaiah 43:2-3a

great favor: divine-grace

King of kings': Jesus Christ

carpet red: red carpeted runner to/
from the King's throne, Jesus's sac-
rificial blood

mercy seat: the atonement lid of the
Ark of the Covenant

dais: the elevated platform with steps
the king's throne rests on
