My
Midnight Blessing
by Barbara Philbrook
It came
after midnight while I was alone in the dark,
I knew it was God right from the start.
It was
strange and exquisite and heart wrenching too,
I just went with it there was nothing I could do.
I didn't
understand one sound I was making,
I have no idea how long it was taking.
When it
was over I had such a feeling of bliss,
never before had I experienced anything like this.
I remember
thinking I must learn it well,
but I was not in control that I could tell.
It didn't
originate in my head,
it was coming from deep in my heart instead.
It wasn't
being controlled by me,
I didn't see the Holy Spirit but I know it was He.
I was
feeling an anguish I couldn't put into words,
so the Spirit did the uttering, that's what occurred.
When the
experience came to an end,
the most beautiful peace on me did descend.
I can't
explain it all and possibly never will,
but I know for a fact God is in control still.
A prayer
language when our words just won't do,
another of the gifts the Holy Spirit gives to you.
