Church Voices

The worship of God is not exactly a new practice. Nor is it one confined to a single culture. As a result the ways that God has been glorified are diverse and innumerable. Song is perhaps one of the most often used techniques. I have to admit that the technique within song that impresses on me the awesomeness of God the most is the image of angels worshipping God.

“I saw angels fall down
at the glory of the Lord”.

That song always makes me stop and consider the glory of God.

I’m not a huge spiritual warfare guy. I don’t wander around wondering what angels do when they’re not hacking apart demons ala Frank Perretti. I don’t have a guardian angel bumper sticker on my car. In fact, angels don’t often factor into my theology much at all. The most play they get in my “God-thoughts” is right around Christmas when I think about shepherds getting knocked off their feet by the Christ child’s heavenly birth announcement.

But for some reason the idea of angels worshipping God strikes me as particularly powerful.

The sound of angel’s awe
The sound of angel’s songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King

Excellent.
