"Like A Song"

"Once in every life someone comes along and you came to us,

it was almost like a song..."

(Pastor Kenneth Phillips)

It was like an Awakening of the soul and spirit, when at first we

 felt Your touch of love, so utterly sublime

"How can my heart flutter with such joy, and my spirit feel so free 

 in glory and beauty?" we wondered at the time

Oh, it was the One who held us as dust, and formed us by His love, 

 who caressed us with His Holy hands

He's the Creator of the universe, who loves what He made; He

 watches o'er the earth, His own created lands

It's no wonder when a soul looks in His eyes, with love returned in 

 worship, that His Spirit floods our beings

And, it's more than prickling chill bumps, tinglings, the rampage of

 mortal emotions, and run amok feelings

No, it is power unspeakable and full of glory, the explosion of

 heaven, from portals beyond our knowing

Ah, it's like rain, snow, fragrant breezes, winds of fire, the scent

 of roses and a niagra of love, unleashed and flowing

"Take me, I'm Yours," is our fervent cry, from lips touched by

 heaven's flames, and hearts instantly remade

The lover of our souls has invaded us with ecstasy, and now we've

 been made clean; we're righteously arrayed

No love can compare to our Savior's relentless mercy, love and

 grace; we are humbled to our trembling knees

And, as we bow, we're mounting up like eagles, soaring in His

 embrace, flying above snake lines, to lofty aeries

No human can describe the splendor of the Holy Ghost and fire,

 that erupts like a volcano, in glorious joy

The strings of our hearts sing in tongues, as we're carried away in

 the arms of love; it's a heavenly awing ploy

We experience a "Maranatha" before its time, as our Redeemer

 takes up residence, in His home of reformed dust

And, we get a foretaste of paradise in an earthly moment, a dance 

  rises in the freedom, of the once sinful and unjust

Oh, there's nothing like it; it's a lilt of the soul, diving to depths

 and climbing to heights, in one swoop of delight

And the light floods our bodies in a miraculous consumption, of

 the dregs from hopelessness, and darkness of night

We fly like we have wings, released to explore the flames of the

 Holy Ghost, in a triumph of seeking wonder

"Who wouldn't want more?" we ask, when we consider the power 

 that roared through our souls, like shaking thunder

So, the chords of singing fill the stillness in the air, when at last we

 settle into our abode, above earth's woes and cares

We have become new and shining from His light and love; it's

 apparent to all who know us, from their oft stares

It was "the experience;" from Acts 2 and 38, that joined us to

 Jesus, and cleared us from all our sins and wrongs

Ah, it is beautiful, it's like awesome mystery, unfolded in a rush of 

glory, the Word from above, in us; it's "Like A Song." 

Psalm 131

(A Song of degrees of David)
