Every Creature's Song in Heaven

13Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!”
14The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. (Revelation 5)

Thoughts: Every creature will sing in heaven.  The good news is that those who didn't think they could sing will really sing- and the song will be more beautiful than any song they have ever heard.
     This is every creature every where- heaven, earth, and sea.  Heaven or hell- it doesn't matter- we will all acknowledge that God is God and true.  There is no one anywhere who will not praise God.  Philippians 2 says "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord."
     The song is inspired by the Holy Spirit who enables us to have breath to sing- who gives music in heaven itself.  The Spirit inspires us to sing to the Father (who sits on the throne), and to the Lamb (who purchased all of us who will sing).
      The content of the song is a doxology.  We sing in awe and admiration- praise, honor, glory and power.  All energy, all songs are due Him.  All attention should be directed at the One who died so much for us.  In the end, in heaven, all the distractions will be removed.  

Prayer: Let me see you, O Lord.  Help me to find you - and then help me- to praise and honor you with all that i am.
