Analysis of Rinsed in joy overnight!!
In the middle of the night I heard this sound
A thrust in soul round and round
Like in a dream a saw a surrounded fence
A liquid of Joy began to rinse
I started to giggle down in my soul
Filled with youth but never old
It pounded my heart up to my eyes
These tears of Joy I began to cry
Like a spiritual moment in God's own hand
Totally happy to be this man
I tried to stop but I had no control
Laughing loud as the story's told
I was rinsed in Joy overnight
Prescence of peace felt so right
And when I woke up I couldn't believe
The Joy I felt the smiles agreed
