Sometime in the 1980s when I was pastoring the Jesus Saves Mission in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I had a dream.
I heard angels singing,
“When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea- billows roll.
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul”
Chorus:
It is well. With my soul. It is well, it is well with my soul”
I have never heard such wonderful, harmonious singing like this on earth! It was very soothing & spiritually uplifting. I felt my spirit lifted up heavenward! It was still dark just before day break. Early in the morning I told my wife about this strange visitation.
Few hours later I spoke in the Morning Worship Service. About 15 minutes into the sermon the Church phone rang. I saw one Hong sister picked up the phone. Then she joined the Congregation and brought news to her 2 other sisters & also her brother Hong Fun Shun. They all broke in tears. Their mother has just gone home to be with the LORD.
Immediately, I stopped preaching and told them not to be sad as God has already prepared by sending Angels to take her home.
As the singing angels descended a little too early they visited our Mission Church in KL. That’s where I heard them singing & singing.
That was more than 30 years ago today. Yet to this day I still remember the singing vividly.
In heaven singing is the Christian’s chief employment. And we will sing for ever and ever. Amen & Amen!
