An Experience

This morning I was sleeping
So peacefully in bed
When suddenly the Spirit came
And nudged at me and said

“Get up, get up, get up my child!
There’s something you must do for me
This very minute, right away
Don’t miss this opportunity.”

“Go away, I’m tired now,”
I heard myself then say.
But yet as hard as I would try
Sleep would not come my way

I dragged myself out of my bed
Trudged wearily downstairs
The clock read 2:15 a.m.
I stood awhile and stared

I poured myself a glass of milk
And trudged back up again
Ready to crawl back into bed
When again the Spirit came.

And oh! How strong the impact was
That then did come my way
For as I felt the Spirit’s Power
I knew that I must pray

I turned and ran back down the stairs
To find a dark and quiet spot
And then knelt down and soon began
To pray my prayer to God

The burden which I then had felt
So hard it was to bear…
Yet the Lord again reminded me
That He does surely care.

How marvelous! How wonderful!
God really, truly is
I am so glad and thankful too
That I am one of His!

I am so very thankful, too
That He had paid my debt.
My prayer thus done, I went upstairs
Crawled into bed…and slept.
