What Is Christ Doing With His Bride, A Follow-Up
Off and on all day today, I keep thinking about the whole Michael Guglielmucci, Healer song thing.
The one thing that keeps going through my head is this: when I sing “Healer”, I don’t think of Michael, Planetshakers, Hillsong, Australia, my church, the crowd or even the worship team onstage.
Seriously, I think about heaven, angels, throneroom, elders, saints and the majesty of the Lamb who was slained. Seriously, I try to take the scene from Isaiah 6 and combine that with Revelation and Daniel 7 and I hope to have some sort of image of the throneroom of God. I imagine I see Christ Jesus, sitting at the right hand of the Father. (Truth be known, the Father is so big that I really just see His foot. I know He seems so big and yet He doesn’t feel big.)
I imagine walking towards Him, singing praises to Him. I imagine removing parts of my armour, dropping my shield and my sword. When I almost removed all the pieces of my armour, I see the same white pure clean robe that God gave me when I first submitted myself to Him. My heart fills with joy as my eyes fills with tears.
I continue to sing. I feel that my voice is not as beautiful as those around me but I will keep singing and sing louder. I sing to Him because He was the one who rescued me from the pit of despair and death.
Through tears in my eyes, I look upon the glory of God and His righteousness. I raised my hands and dance around until I fall to my knees.
I continue to sing.
Then the music stops.
Man, it would kill them to do more than a four song set.
Oh well. I will find another way to worship our God.
I would still sing “Healer”. Too bad churches will be pulling this from their playlists.
