Episode 222: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 188

Episode Summary:

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. (Psalm 33:1-4)

2 I just come a little early, tonight, and was sitting back there on one of the—the benches, when I heard that good old fashion singing, and the choir, and the—the music. My, I thought maybe the Millennium was about ready to start. That sounded real good. If anything I like is good singing. And I wished… I always thought I’d like for the Lord to give me voice to sing. I—I just can’t hardly make a joyful noise. So but…

If you want an appointment with me, as soon as life is over, and it’s all finished, there’s a… Where the river of Life comes out from under the Throne, and comes down, this way, and goes around the mountain of—of salvation, and there—where the trees are on either side of the mountain; over on that side, there’s a choir sings. All the great voices sing over there. There’ll be Sankey, and all of them over there singing.

And over on this other side, there’s this little tree; I’ll be setting under that tree listening. So now… That’s where I want to be to hear that great, Angelic choir join in with the mortals. But you know, I was thinking, that the Angels, when Jesus comes… And one singing I want to be at, the great singing, is to hear the time that when we stand upon this earth and sing the songs of redemption.

Angels will stand just out—off the earth with bowed heads, not knowing what we’re singing about. They never had to be redeemed. We are the ones will be rejoicing. We were the ones that were lost, and now we’re found. And we’ll sing the redemption stories, when they won’t even understand it. They’ll just stand with bowed heads, and listen to us sing. Won’t that be a wonderful time? Oh, I long to see that.

3 I love good singing, but it’s one thing I don’t like is an overtrained voice, overtrained, one that holds their breath just so long, till they get blue in the face. You know, they’re not singing to the Lord, they’re just trying to see how long they can hold their breath.

There’s nothing any prettier than old fashion pentecostal singing, with the glory of God in the meeting. That’s real joy to my heart, and I was so glad to refresh myself in the presence of that good singing tonight. The Lord bless you, and keep that up.
