Analysis of Spending Time in the Word
One day while I was in the Word
He took me to a place
Where I could see His feet and legs
His chest but not His face
Two Spirits came out from Him
On my left and on my right
At once they overwhelmed me
But they did not come to fight
They jumped into my arms
All I could do was hold on tight
There was no darkness in them
Only precious Holy Light
I felt the joy of being home
And that I can’t deny
As I was spinning like a top
And then began to fly
There’s nothing on this earth
To which I’d like it or compare
But when I came back down
I was still sitting in my chair
Oh, but that I could pray
That everyone would spend
Time with Jesus every day!
