classic Contemporary Christian music pt.1

I found a large set of older ('classic') as some folks call it Contemporary Christian music tapes tonight. Actually, they're accompaniment tracks, but they are tapes nonetheless, and feature trax to songs by then-popular artists like the Archers, Steve Fry, Scott Wesley Brown, and Connie Scott.

One of my favorites in the set is "Spirit Mover" by Connie Scott. It's definitely an 80s tune, complete with synthesized rhythms, instruments and even synthesized voice. I really like the chorus:

Spirit Mover, I know I'm a part of Your plan
Spirit Mover, 'cause You're molding my heart with Your hands

Connie sings about how she can feel the power of God working in her, and how when he strengthens her to do His work she feels like she could soar.

I like that! Even now, it encourages me to lay down all I have at His feet and let Him fill me to overflowing!

My friend Kim, who is also a strong yet tenderhearted sister in Christ, said years ago she was healed (I forget from what) and she could literally "feel" God's hand working in her, healing her of the illness. I have not felt God working in me in this way, but I desire it!

I want to be able to feel His hands molding my heart, the way Kim felt Him working in her body.
I want to be able to feel Him working on my back pain, as a surgeon would.
I want to be able to feel the Holy Spirit moving through me, consuming me and burning up all the dross in me.
