It’s a Place where the Flame is Blue
The inspiration for this song comes from Exodus 25:20-22
The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be. And you shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the testimony that I shall give you. There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel. (Scripture quotations are from the The Holy Bible, English Standard Version, copyright c 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a division of Good News Publishers.)
The verses describe the place of meeting between God and man as being between the wings of the cherubim, above the mercy seat where literally “mercy” covers “the law”. This really also describes the place of the cross doesn’t it, because that was also a place of grace, where God poured His love, and His all, out for man.
The ark, God’s chosen throne zone, also has 2 cherubims. These are 4 faced warrior angels. My research indicates that the faces and their representations have been viewed by some as follows:
• Man, symbolizing wisdom and intelligence
• Lion, representing authority
• Ox, Strength
• Eagle, swiftness and far-sightedness
Truly a throne like no other. For a God like no other. Speaking of His genius, authority, divine strength, perfect foresight transcending time and space.
What a meeting place this is, where Love supernatural, pure and intense like the blue of a candle flame, communes with you and me.

You are enthroned upon the cherubim
From of old unto eternity
Above the mercy seat
You reign and commune with men
In a place of grace and love without endIt’s a place where the flame is blue
It’s a place where love is true
It’s a place of strength divine
Where eagles swiftly soar and visions are defined
It’s a place of love intense
Where He reveals His plans to men
It’s a place of genius unveiled
And power supernaturalHe invites us to that place
When with our hearts we will embrace
The Presence of the Living God
Awaiting there with His love to pour
So let us ascend to that Holy Place
Where with our hearts we’ll see His face
And be filled with His passion intense
And power supernatural
