Seized is good as a Divine passive for we are grasped rather than grasping. Seized, however, can imply loss of control. Tongues is a voluntary submission or release of control rather than 'loss'. In my experience, the song continues for ever but is always under self-control. What I have seen and heard is a growth and maturing of the individual in this relationship to HaShem - of necessity for me through Christ since I know I learned it through his death, our mercy-seat. It is like your instruction to go and learn more. It is like the gimel of Psalm 119 - Deal bountifully with your servant. May the Most High indeed deal bountifully with us and grow us in love.<BR/><BR/>I cannot learn such love all at once, but I am pleased to have your blog on my reader so I may continue learning with another helper.Bob MacDonaldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11335631079939764763noreply@blogger.com
