It took me only 5 minutes to read this short passage. With the exception of “Happy Birthday” I’ve never had another song sung to me. I can say with great confidence that I have also never had a song written about me. I believe that not even in Heaven has my name been lifted up in song. In the 4th chapter of Revelation John witnesses the seraphim led praise to God the Father as he was seated on his heavenly throne. A concert that had begun before the world began. Then the Lamb of God stepped forward to claim his position of authority before all of the heavenly realm. When this historical event occurred Heaven was changed. The heavenly beings began singing to the Lamb. Not only did they change their focus from the throne to the Lamb, but they presented a new song. One that had not been heard in throne room of glory. Soon the angelic choir joined with their refrains of praise. The final addition to this eternally new composition was the voices of creation. The rocks along the road to Jerusalem, that Jesus said would cry out, were finally able to release their shouts of praise to the Lamb who liberated mankind and took away the curse that had been on creation since the fall of man. What a wonderfully joyous celebration.
