HEAVENLY MUSIC.
( John G Lake ) In my ministry in South Africa I met a young lady, one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known. One of the remarkable developments in her life after her baptism in the Spirit was that the Spirit of God would come powerfully upon her on occasions, and at such times she would sit down at the piano and translate the music that her soul heard.
Other times the Spirit would come upon her so powerfully that she would be caused to sing the heavenly music in some angelic language. God gave her the gift of interpretation so that quite frequently when the Spirit would come upon her, she would sing the song in English, or Dutch as the case might be.
Her father and mother were both musicians. They soon learned that when the Spirit thus came upon her, they could record the music. The father would stand at one side and take
down the words of the song as she sang them, while the mother stood at the other side and recorded the music as sheplayed the music on the instrument. In this way a great deal of that music was preserved.
Some years later Clara Butts, the great English prima donna, came to Africa. She was singing at the great Wanderer’s Hall in Johannesburg, and one evening after the concert, while being entertained at the hotel, I was introduced
to her. She said to me, “Mr. Lake, I have been anxious to meet you, for I have heard that among your people is a remarkable woman who receives music in the Spirit, apparently of a different realm from ours.”
I said, “Yes, that is a fact.”
She inquired if it would be possible to meet her, and so a meeting was arranged. One evening we went to her hotel, and as we sat down, Clara Butts said to the young lady, “I wish you would sit down and play some of the music I have heard about.” She did not understand that such music came only at such times as the Spirit came powerfully upon the woman.
However, the young lady sat down at the piano.
I said to the company, “Let us bow our heads in prayer,” and as we did and waited, presently the Spirit of God descended upon her, and then there poured through her soul some of the wondrous, beautiful, heavenly music. I waited to note the effect upon the group. When the song was finished, I looked especially at Clara Butts, who was weeping silently. She rose to her feet, and coming forward to the piano she reached out her hands, saying, “Young lady, that music belongs to a world that my soul knows little about, and I pray every day of my life that God may permit me to enter. In that realm is the ultimate which my soul sometimes hears, but which I have never been able to touch.”
