Sunday's Living Water

Scripture

When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
Revelation 5:8-9



Cuando tomó el libro, los cuatro seres vivientes y los veinticuatro ancianos se postraron delante del Cordero; cada uno tenía un arpa y copas de oro llenas de incienso, que son las oraciones de los santos.

Y cantaban* un cántico nuevo, diciendo: Digno eres de tomar el libro y de abrir sus sellos, porque fuiste inmolado, y con tu sangre compraste para Dios a gente de toda tribu, lengua, pueblo y nación.
Apocalipsis 5:8-9
