You see, God is not only the Creator of music but He is the Conductor who will conduct the greatest symphony ever performed! It will be the loudest and most eloquent sound the universe has ever heard! When He comes back to receive His bride the eternal praise band will begin playing its chords. The songs of life will be sung for ten thousand years and then forevermore.
Revelation 7:9 says...
"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, 'Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!'"There will be a great multitude of people before the throne. Some from every culture this world has ever known. Think about what the music will be like!
There will be choirs, bands of all sorts, and orchestras. Instruments galore! The noise alone will rattle the heavens and shake the earth under our feet as we worship the Lamb forever and ever.
Praise bands, rock bands, country and rap. Hip hop, DJ, and heavy metal. Bluegrass, disco, funk and jazz. Every form of music since the creation of the world will play a part in this beautiful masterpiece. And the best part about it is that it will all declare and proclaim the infinite name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Those who scream will be screaming for God. Those who rock will be rocking for Christ. And for some, headbanging will be a form of worship.
Hymns will be sung. Chants will be chanted. And forever we will sing with the angels, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!" (Rev. 4:8). Yet, these are the lyrics that we [the Church] will add when we are all there together, Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing! To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!" (Rev. 5:12, 13).
He will conduct us and bring the universe in unison as we worship the Lamb who was slain!
