What song can angels never sing? Though the heavenly host declares the praise of God, what well known hymn can they not express to God? AMAZING GRACE
Here are the words to a gospel song I first heard many years ago….
Angels never knew the joy that is mine, For the blood has never washed their sins away, Though they sing in heaven there will come a time, when silently they’ll listen to me sing “Amazing Grace!”
“Holy is the Lord,” the angels sing, before the throne of God continually, for me to join their song will be a natural thing, but they just won’t know the words to “Love Lifted Me.”
And it’s a song holy angels cannot sing, “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!” It’s a song holy angels cannot sing, “I once was lost, but now am found!”
How do angels respond to Jesus Christ? In the next 3 posts, let’s reflect on the answer to this question -
1) They worship Him – Years ago a wonderful couple in the congregation we served in Thornloe invited some Jehovah’s Witnesses to come to their home with some literature. They invited me to join them and ‘discuss’ spiritual truth. Throughout the evening as we examined various texts, the Spirit of God kept prompting me with “Hebrews 1:6.” I wasn’t sure exactly what that text said, but in faith invited everyone, including the witnesses to turn to that reference. Here’s what they found, in black and white, in their own green cover NEW WORLD TRANSLATION.
I was shoc
ked and invited our guest to simply read the text. “But when he (referring to God) brings his First-born into the inhabited earth, he (referring to God) says: “And let all God’s angels worship him.”
God, the only true God, commands His angels to worship the Son of God! What clearer evidence is there for the deity of Jesus Christ?
Newer translations produced by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society have “fixed” this apparent glitch. You see, they don’t believe Jesus is truly GOD with us. They have forgotten Jesus said, “He that has seen me has seen the Father.” (John 14:9bNWT). They have not carefully handled Philippians 2 where Paul claims “He (Jesus) did not consider EQUALITY WITH GOD something to be grasped….” or the very words of Jesus in John 5 where He indicates “that all may HONOR the Son JUST AS they HONOR the Father.”
Praise God if you can sing the song angels cannot sing! Pray for those you know (including Jehovah’s Witnesses)who can’t sing that song!
