Analysis of Anointing in song and agreement



Something happened on that floor.

Basketball gym converted

For another night.

People from many churches

Beat and expectation.

Yearning to sing.

Oh, but I’m not a Singer.

Yeah, so what, Girl?

Let it out.

In this place we get it.

Agree with it.

Give copious thanks.

The plan for release

Of discontent, guilt.

Replaced by gratitude.

Stomping feet and

Let’s stop the chat now.

Just sing, OK.

About this poem

Been in many worship halls. Enthusiastic. Thankful. And sometimes there is a shifting of gears. Praise does this. Consider Psalm 63.
