Chicago Children’s Chorus Group Concert

The concert was held on Sunday, February 21, at Lakeshore Baptist Church. Around 100 children were standing under the big cross singing “Alleluia!” beautifully. Children’s innocent voices are so pure and heavenly. The picture of Jesus on the wall seemed to listen to those beautiful voices singing “Alleluia!” Those voices made me shiver as if I were in heaven in front of Jesus.

They sang many popular songs, I think. For some of the songs, the conductor asked the audience to sing along. Many in the audience enjoyed singing with them. I don’t know any of the songs except one song sung in Japanese. Many Japanese children sang the song in summer time. I was singing along the Japanese children’s song happily.


The final song was sung in Hebrew called “Shalom!”

It was a very enjoyable concert. Thanks to Eugiene and Nathan who belongs to the group for inviting me to this concert.

The Revelation Chapter 4 in the Bible talked about heaven. Please read the following Bible passages.
Revelation Chapter 4 The Throne in Heaven
1After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
11"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being."
