A Beautiful Song

Today is Sunday and this morning I was in my usual place, playing the keyboard and leading worship at Christ Family Church. We had just finished singing "Famous One" and I was transitioning to the part of worship that I love best, the intimate fellowship with the Lord. All of a sudden I was filled with a beautiful, spontaneous song- a song that had never been written or sung before. It welled up inside me and without any effort at all bubbled out. It was as if the Holy Spirit said "this song must be sung now and must be sung by you". I have sung spontaneously many times but this was the first time I was not the composer. I was simply the vessel. I cannot recall the tune. I can only recall some of the words. While I was singing I wanted so much to stop and write it down but, of course, I could not interrupt the Spirit. I don't think the congregation realized what they were hearing. They hear me all the time. They are used to that. But this morning at that particular juncture in our worship the Holy Spirit sang for us and I just stood in awe of Him.
