In Heaven color has sound and sound has color! As I knelt beside the Guardian to look more closely at the flowers I realized that they appeared to have translucent and diaphanous petals, and I absorbed the overwhelming fragrance that arose from them. As I leaned closer I began to hear what I thought at first was the gentle tinkle of tiny bells, but it was joined by a kind of vocal vibration. I then realized it had formed a pleasing melody. It was unlike anything I had ever heard and I was so enchanted I turned to the Guardian and asked in amazement, “ is that music I hear ?” He responded, :  “ Yes James, the flowers are so happy you are here, they are singing to you . “ The flowers in Heaven actually sing to you!!!

I watched in fascination as the sound arose from the flowers and turned to a faint rainbow colored mist that wafted slowly like the flight of a butterfly above me. It seemed to catch the gentle breeze that moved in the direction of a brilliant golden light in the distance and I was told all the sounds of Heaven eventually make their way to the throne of God, as praise to HIS glory. This would apply as well to the gentle rustling of the leaves on the trees, the sounds of the brooks and crystal waterfalls and fountains, birdsong and other vocalizations which all combine to create a symphony of love to GOD. It was self composing and yet no composer could have created a more beautiful refrain.

I now understand that the beautiful hymns that we enjoy on Earth that are truly praising God and Jesus are actually composed in Heaven and put into the minds of composers, instrumentalists and singers on earth. That is why such hymns as Blessed Assurance , Amazing Grace, I Come to The Garden and hundreds of others have a timeless appeal. Yes, mankind can also create beautiful worship praise but it is not divinely inspired by Heaven nor will it have the longevity and ability to truly influence hearts for God.
