I too was at Little Rock for that congress and just have to tell you
about
an experience I had there.  I sang in the "mass" choir during the
congress
and really enjoyed it.  It was the first time for me to sing in a "real"
choir and
the first time I had ever danced in the spirit.(pretty much all the choir
did at
one point, I thought the platform was going to fall through..the whole
floor shook!)

The point I wanted to make was, during a song fest, the mass choir had to
stand
at one side of the stage and wait to go up on it.  From where I was
standing,
I could not see anything on the stage.  I *did* hear the music being sung
since
I was right behind the floor speaker..(my ears are still ringing ;) )
As I stood there waiting, not really paying attention to the music being
sung,
the spirit swept over me, and I began worshipping God.  The presence
became stronger and stronger as the time went by and pretty soon, the
majority of the
choir member standing there were worshipping God.  Now, some can say
that we were just reacting to the music, however, as I mentioned before,
I 
was not paying attention to it..the spirit moved me though!
So, to me, sometimes it doesnt matter if you understand the words, God
will
be present if He finds it to be worship music unto Him.
