“Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing, ‘… praise and honor and glory and power for ever and ever!’”
Revelation 5:13
About a dozen songs are given to us in the book of Revelation. They are exceptionally significant to us because they were written by God Himself, and they are the choruses we may be singing forever in His presence one day in heaven. Your loved ones who have gone on to their heavenly Home already may be singing them right now!
We find in the book of Revelation songs of exuberance (as in 19:6), songs that explain God’s glory and unfolding redemption (4:11; 5:9-10), songs of encouragement (19:1-2), and songs of expectation (15:4). If you read through the verses of choruses, you’ll recognize some of them from worship songs and hymns you may have learned in church or heard elsewhere. It’s as if God has given us a small glimpse of the stunning music He has planned for us in eternity.
They point us to Jesus now. But how astounding it will be when they are the musical sounds of our reality in the presence of our Maker! “So let it be today we shout the hymn of Heaven/ With angels and the saints, we raise a mighty roar” (Phil Wickham, 2021).
