I was guided in my conversion
To seek to know for myself
If I was ready for immersion
To study and pray for help
I was tempted to not pray
The heavens felt leaden and distant
But the baptism of fire came
Let me share of this instance
While praying with new found faith
I asked the Spirit to confirm
Then eagerly, I did wait
For what God would have me learn
I started, “Heavenly Father,” I said
When, with my lips still open,
I heard a sound above my head
Like the rustling of silken robes
And immediately, the Spirit
Descended upon me completely
Enveloping my whole person
Filling me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet
O, the joy and happiness I felt
I was so warmed, with love, I could melt
“I had no sooner opened my lips in an effort to pray than I heard a sound just above my head, like the rustling of silken robes, and immediately the Spirit of God descended upon me, completely enveloping my whole person, filling me from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, and O, the joy and happiness I felt!”
