The word “Maranatha” is an Aramaic phrase found in the New Testament of the Bible meaning “Our Lord, come!”, “Come, O Lord” or “Our Lord has come”.
Rainbow in the cloud symbolizes the everlasting covenant which God established with Noah and every living creature on the earth (Genesis 9).
The melody on the rainbow-like music staff is the tune of my favorite song by the legendary Christian worship leader/music director/composer Don Moen – “God will make a way”, a song which I always recall whenever trials and difficulties come into my life.
Music is created by God and for God! We are created to worship our Creator God everyday, and we are going to sing and make music and praise and worship Him for eternity in heaven! I always wonder and tell myself: I better learn to play music better and pick up more tricks on earth now cos next time in heaven I’m going to play and worship God for eternity! I hope I can give my best to Him and hopefully don’t play too many wrong notes :p

Lastly, let me share with you one of my favorite verses from Psalm 98:4-6:
burst into jubilant song with music;
make music to the LORD with the harp,
with the harp and the sound of singing,
with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn –
shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
