Choir Of Angels

I personally have never heard a choir of angels. But I guess most of us if not all can say that. Yet when I think about it; what would it sound like? Melodic? Sweet? Soft? Overwhelming? It can be any of those things or none of those things. Guess, we'll have to wait until heaven to be certain. Yet there are moments when I think I've gotten a glimpse. The voices are sweet, tender, not always on key but delivered with much passion and joy.

I'm blessed to work at a Christian School. Every week we set aside a day to come together and worship God in His house. Occasionally when we are singing, the worship band stops singing and all you hear are the voices of hundreds of children lifting their praises to God. For me these moments are "Choir of Angels" moments. The sound is so pure, so loving, so sweet sounding.

Something happens when you get a group of kids together, teach them a song, they belt it out and regardless if it's perfect or not there is this magic about it. You're walking down the street and you hear kids singing, you have a tendency to follow it and seek it out. It's just so beautiful. It's welcoming. It's joyful.  It's simply pure.

 I had that experience today. Students from K-5th sang,

                    "God of wonders beyond my galaxy.
                     You are Holy, Holy
                     The universe declares Your Majesty
                     You are Holy, Holy"

The adults stopped singing and the room was filled with the precious tone of children worshiping their Creator. I live for these moments. The presence of God fills the place and we are in awe of His Spirit.

I'm grateful for these pockets of heaven. I'm grateful that God answers their worship. I'm grateful for these Choir of Angels.
