Angels Fall Down

I saw angels fall down

at the glory of the Lord

the hurt and the broken find rest here

I saw angels fall down

at the beauty of the Lord

and as I kneeled I cried to know Him

And I fall down

afraid and shaking here

And I fall down

I’m perfectly safe in here

– Skillet, Angels Fall Down

That is one worship song I never get tired of.

I was thinking about angels today. They are mysterious creatures to me; bearers of tidings and warnings, ministers to God’s servants and to our Lord himself in his incarnation, ceaseless worshipers of God – the one who commands their countless hosts.

Someday we will fall down before the Lamb with them, in utter awe and wonder but completely safe in his presence. And we will sing, along with every creature in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, the praise of the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.

Amazing . . .

And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying,

“Worthy are you to take the scroll

and to open its seals,

for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God

from every tribe and language and people and nation,

and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,

and they shall reign on the earth.”

Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

– Revelation 5:6-14 (ESV)
