ONE HAPPY DAY

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:"

1 Thessalonians 4:16

King James Version

Hovie Lister wrote one of my very favorite hymns 

"WHILE AGES ROLL". "Someday the stammering tongue will falter no more And a grander, sweeter song I shall sing Then I’ll join the ransomed choir On Heaven’s bright shore Forever to praise the King And while the ages roll I’ll keep on praising Him And my voice will never tire or grow old And my song shall ever be Praise the Lamb who died for me And I’ll sing it while ages shall roll."

I have been told "You can't carry a tune in a bucket". It's true but it still hurts. I was asked to leave a choir because the choir director said I was making the rest of the choir members sound bad. However, one happy and joyous day when Jesus comes back for us, I will sing in the Heavenly Choir. I won't be told I can't sing and I won't be asked to leave the choir. I will have the privilege of singing to Jesu for eternity.

I can't sing for Jesus in public but I sing for Him here at home. Jesus is not listening to hear a professional singing voice when I sing to Him. All Jesus wants to hear is a joyful noise praising Him. It is a noise when I sing but it's a joyful noise. We read in the Bible. "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise" (Psalms 98:4). When I sing to Jesus, it is a loud noise. If someone has told you that you can't sing, know that Jesus is waiting for you to sing to Him.
