Chance of a lifetime- The first

A feeling only few experience...

30 minutes late,
The room is filled to the brim.

The band praises; hands uplifted
People free their strife- arms outstretched.

The aura engulfs my soul,
My heart races; stomach in a knot.

Praises and shouts of joy swirl about,
Prayers, boldness and  newness are found.

Mentally, instantaneously, I'm letting loose,
I don't feel physically, I feel spiritually.

The songs chorus hooks around,
My soul goes into a zone- I'm locked down.

My bindings coming undone,
Pore's open, his spirit seeps through.

My throat is set ablaze,
As the song chords pass through me.

The urge to cry is calming yet moving; but not from my eyes
Mind, body, soul, spirit- the tears are trickling and cleansing.

My arms unfold, stretching to the sky; fingertips tingling,
Quivering plays at the corners of my lips.

Eyes mechanically close,
Lyrics escaping my muted lips.

A single tear escapes my left eye,
Shock, chills, enchantment, empowerment.

My prayers, circle in mind, in a different tongue,
My Lord, My God.

He has entered into my being,
The world is mute; he speaks to me.

Tears flow uncontrollably in that moment-
Feeling, hearing, thinking are no more.

Hurt, pain, hate, scars- turn
Relief, comfort, forgiveness, reminders- replace.

A love greater than anything swallows me,
My Heavenly Fathers hand comes down unto me- resting.

I look to him when all else is blurry,
His reassurance quickly at my aid.

Bound by his grace and mercy,
Set free of my wrongs.

I look to him and sit at his feet;
My sins a burden no longer.

Author's Note

This is more or so a venting about what happened to me tonight 3/3/11 during my church service. It was amazing. I don't think I experienced anything like it. Ever.

Again, everything that this poems says, happened to me tonight. I'm surprised it came out in words- I had to share it- He told me to.

*This was the song playing when this occurred*

Well written. I can feel the emotion :)

This was so beautiful. I feel the exact same way as you.
I spent quite a bit of time at a Bible Camp this summer, two times a day we sing songs of praise. Nothing like it. The whole room was illuminate with God! It was so moving, to see non believers even joining in.
Music is one thing that draws me close to God. I suck at expressing myself in word but music is another language for me!
Great, great, write. Added to my favourites!
