picture: the Spirit dances

Today in the sanctuary, the Lord let me watch the Spirit dance over us as we worshiped Him. I watched a wind blow about in beautiful swirls, slowly taking on the form of a dancer. He danced with such an incredible fluidity and grace that I was left breathless. He didn’t need a floor to spring from, or another’s strength to lift Him, He simple danced effortlessly over His people with perfect precision and sync with the song, the power of His movements crescendoing and decrescendoing perfectly. I wish I could put into words the beauty of this dance, but there are none that could do it justice. I know only that it was a privilege to share in.

You dance over us

music flows to Your praise
in the beauty of worship
You open my eyes to behold You

You surround us in a twisting wind
fluidly You sweep around and through Your people
light and glorious and sweet
and as You move above our heads
You take on the form of a dancer
in and out and with the wind
You dance to the melodious music
brought to You

You dance over us
with a fluidity and grace
such as i have never imagined
weightless in purity
You need no ground beneath You
Your springs and leaps
empowered by a strength from within
as if hands unseen
lift, twirl and throw You about the air
effortlessly majestic

moved by You movement
with stunned tears
i simply take You in
