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.
