Heaven's Song--By Christine Tate--United States

Heaven's Song

We love the sound when church bells ring
and the hymns a choir sings;
chirping birds put us at ease
as do wind chimes in the breeze.
but none compare to God's melody
composed in perfect harmony...
God's soothing voice can be heard
through His everlasting word.
celestial music calms the spirit
and uplifts those who hear it.
let's give thanks for heaven's song
that surrounds us all day long!

Christine Tate lives in New Jersey. She is the mother of three married sons and has eight grandchildren. She started writing inspirational poetry in 1994, and is blessed to encourage others and honor the Lord. She was widowed in 2007 and met her new husband Artie, a widower, in the nursing facility where their late mothers resided. They've been happily married for 2 1/2 years. Since neither of them ever expected to marry again, they consider it a "divine appt."

    Hello Christine and God bless you and yours! Thank you for Heaven's Song. It puts me in the mind of the old hymns at church. Those are the types of hymns that reach the soul. Music does calm the spirit. I also love the way you stated, "God's soothing voice can be heard through his everlasting word." His voice is soothing and His Word often sings to me. I'm thinking of clapping my hands and stomping my feet as I write. Thank you for sharing.

  3. There is something magical about church bells ringing - bringing us closer to our God. A reminder, He is all around us as we hear His chimes in the wind...
