A precious lady in our church passed away last week and finally found her way home after years of illness. Before she got so sick, she sang in our choir — and let me just say what a beautiful voice she had. A clear, strong soprano voice that perfectly matched her personality.

I started singing in our choir when I was in eighth grade, so some of my most wonderful memories of this special lady are from times in the choir loft on Wednesday nights or Sunday mornings.

I hadn’t seen her in a very long time, but if I’d had the chance to see her toward the end I would have told her the same thing I told my beautiful godmother before she passed away last summer: it won’t be long before you’re singing with the choir of angels in heaven, singing right to God Himself. And it’s going to sound a whole lot better than anything we’ve ever sung in our little church choir!

I love the Scripture in Revelation that says thousands upon thousands of angels joined their voices to sing praise to the Lamb. Can you imagine?! And to think that we’ll be in the midst of it someday. It’s enough to blow my little mind!

In the meantime it makes me happy to know that wonderful people like my friend from church, my godmother, my grandparents, and so many others are already tuning up and practicing. What a song to be part of!

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang:

“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

Revelation 5:11-12
