soul stirrings

Have you ever experienced a soul stirring? A stirring that couldn't exactly be reasoned or fingered by the typical index? Things can stir the heart, the mind, the emotions, and most definitely the deep parts of our being. A song arose, but it wasn't just words accompanied with the sound of instruments playing one harmonious melody. No! It was fresh manna falling from heaven. O this sound that arose spoke to the deep parts! It quenched a thirst I had not known of; a hunger I had only imaged in my wildest of dreams. The sound, the song....

"My soul, longs for, you Lord, in a, dry and, weary land."

again it came....

"My soul, longs for, you Lord, in a, dry and, weary land."

O the words seem so simple, overused and abused but something just connected to them.

new words arose...

"Come and take your place in the center of our hearts, come and take your place. It was made for you. Come and take your place in the center of our hearts, come and take your place, and have the preeminence Jesus."

Why do our souls stir? And when they do, you should ask WHY....
