And then I heard how many were sealed.
A hundred and forty four thousand out of all the tribes of Israel.
How is this number revealed.
Is this truth visible or spiritual.

I prefer not to take this literally.
Is it just a convenient mathematical number.
Faith should be taken lyrically.
We all will be woken from death’s slumber.

Happy the pure in heart.
They shall see God.
I prefer to believe, we all have aright to play our part.
All of us have a right in his presence to be awed.

We all have the right to seek his face.
We all have the right to grace.
