In Revelation 5:9 . . . And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. . ." Our future worship is the Song of the Redeemed. Even the angels will stop, sit up and take notice as we sing the redemption song. Because, it is a song they cannot sing. Only those who have been purchased by the blood of the Lamb can sing this song. Read the words of this old hymn:
There is singing up in Heaven such as we have never known,
Where the angels sing the praises of the Lamb upon the throne.
Their sweet harps are ever tuneful, and their voices always clear,
Oh, that we might be more like them while we serve the Master here!
Refrain: Holy, holy is what the angels sing.
And I expect to help them make the courts of heaven ring;
But when I sing redemption's story, they will fold their wings,
For angels never felt the joys that our salvation brings.
Then the angels stand and listen, for they cannot join the song.
Like the sound of many waters, by that happy, blood-washed throng.
For they sing about great trials, battles fought and victories won,
And they praise their great Redeemer, who hath said to them. "Well done." - Johnson Oatman Jr.
Our future worship will be a Victory Song of the Redeemed. Our mission is to here and now engage, encourage, and invite every tribe, language, people, and nation to come and join the song of the redeemed. mjm
