Come Empty Handed, Leave Full

Come empty handed leave full hook: He wanted to teach me he wanted to preach to me he wanted to make me a whole try to hand me the good book of things that i didn't know said the word would heal me hook: He wanted to teach me he wanted to preach to me he wanted to make me a whole he said now in your head you may think you have find all the answers but, see here, my God is almighty and his word is profound now i know you don't want to hear me now i know you don't see my halo but look closer and you may see the light and one hand stretched out and he bent over and looked up and said with a shout Well! lord make her see ole, lord let her hear and i heard someone shout come by hear OLE LORD-Y and the reverend say don't stop her, let her BE MOVED, CAN'T YOU SEE, my God has set her feet and someone else sang out and she began to dance and she leaned down as to get on her knees and she stood up again through out her hands, lifted up her head and shouted, in words of rejoicing they where words only the lord could understand and still my heart pumped the same beat and I could not be moved and with a room, full of joyfullest prayers i wanted to be moved so i closed my eyes and I clapped my hands and i moved my feet and prayed as hard as i could and still i could not be moved its was only a time after that i understood the mean, of each and everyone's own joy you may come with a empty bowl but surly you will leave with a little of what you need...

Verlecia, I can totally relate. I have been to church numerous times and watched as other were moved by what they call "the holy spirit"; I watched in awe. I always thought maybe it was just me who could not me moved. But as I listen to the message, feel the music and praise, i am uplifted if even for just little while. Thank you for writing this...Lay
