I am in this room filled with a zealous spirit
To need to yield is apparent
The awakening time has drawn near
While the refreshing love is oh so clear
I check my heart to make sure I am ready
The music from the band is trickling in the air
The djembe marches on steady
The singers speak, “We are with the Lion Tribe of Judah, release your care”
The room is filled with paintings and signs like “revival” and “stronghold”
I feel restless, this is now the time to be bold
I bring my heart and knees to the ground
Immediate into this musical cerebral sound
“I am here, rest my child,” I hear
“Don’t give up on Me, for I created You”
I shed a tear
“I make beginnings anew”
Then after the music, a pastor starts to speak
About the only One you shall seek
“The Kingdom life is at hand
For it is in our hearts and where we stand”
After that the pastor comes up and lays hands on folks
I feel need to come up
While people are saying, “Glory” and “Our God of Hope”
I am come up and feel the spirit erupt
It comes like a tornado
Through a tornado alley in Laredo
I revitalize my motives and internal being
I let go; the heat wave is so freeing
I feel my head get heavy and knees lock
I fall to the floor
I go into a Holy Spirit shock
I am left with a chilling sensation and the One I adore
I will come again if I can stand
For another time oh so grand
To experience the full enthralling vibe
Of the Lion Judah’s charismatic tribe

Yes, a crazy experience, indeed. The same experience written here was definitely filled with mixed emotions. I may write a poem about this experience from a different angle another day. But I am so happy you could feel the power behind the words. 🙂

Beautifully written. I can remember times where I have had God encounters like what you have written here.

Thank you, The River Walk. I definitely felt God’s presence that day. Later on, I found out it who was God present. The other people there just helped usher in His presence. Does that makes sense? 🙂 I am happy you have encountered Him as well. 🙂
