If you look at all the things that God can do and look at who we are, you will see how we are like God. The one thing that stands out is that we can sing. We can make music with our voice. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. It is true that some of us can not carry a tune in a bucket, but God says to make a joyful noise unto Him. In Zephaniah 3, it says that God will rejoice over us with singing.

Singing is not new in the bible. It says that we should sing to God and He sings to us over 119 times. That is specifically telling us that we should sing. When Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt, they sang a song of praise to God. And in Revelations it says that the redeemed of the Lord in heaven sing the song of Moses to God. It is the song of redemption. In heaven when the saints sing the song of redemption, the angels stop what they are doing and listen. The song is so sweet and the angels can not sing this song.

One day I asked the Lord to see heaven. He told me to close my eyes and listen. The first thing that I noticed was the air smell fresh like after a rain. Then I heard children playing. I opened my eyes and saw green rolling hills with plenty of trees. I looked down and I was standing on a road made of gold. The next thing I realized that I was sitting on top of a great wall overlooking the throne room in the city of God. I looked down and saw Jesus and God sitting on their thrones. I could not see the face of God nor enter into the throne room, because I was not dead. I could not see God because there was a cloud and a rainbow around Him. Then Jesus talked to me. Then the saints began to sing the song of redemption. It was so sweet and pure that I began to shake uncontrollable. And every time I hear that song I shake.

Singing is one of the attributes of God. We sing because it comes out of our heart. So when we sing, we are like God.
