Do you think heaven will be a bit, well, boring? Far from it! Please join me for a road trip to the end of Revelation 21 - and the thrilling culmination of one of God's most important themes in Scripture.
Music Today: Arthur Alligood, 'Where the Sparks Fly Upward'On earth, 'man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.' (Job 5:7). But in heading toward heaven, 'You and I put feet toward the flame/You and I walk unashamed.' One of my favorites from a gifted young songwriter.

Johannes Brahms, German Requiem, Sixth movement, part 1.One of the best Baritone solos in all classical choral music comes in this thrilling mixture of 'here we have no lasting city' (Hebrews 13:14) and 'we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.' (1 Cor. 15:51-55) Revelation also makes an appearance here. I've never been given the opportunity to sing the solo here - maybe that's part of my work in heaven 
! (I don't know why the movement is split; hopefully part 2 will automatically follow when you watch part 1.)
