I know what you mean.

When in worship...I mean REAL WORSHIP...its impossible to keep my hands down.

I was backpacking in Montana about 5-6 years ago. It was a low overcast day. We were climbing over a pass and near the top, and the clouds broke a little and the sun broke through a little. I doubt the clouds were more than 1000-1500' feet above.

When the sun broke through, it was the most physical/emotional experience I can remember. It was like God pulled back the clouds like a blanket just for me.

I instantly started singing How Great Thou Art, with hands raised and tears flowing.

I reached the top and looked over the valley with sunstreams flowing down. AWE INSPIRING.

This is very close to what it looked like

Just wow! That is a beautiful picture and I can only imagine how it would effect me seeing it in person. When you said you sang "How Great Thou Art" with your hands raised and tears streaming down, I started tearing up myself. Isn't our Lord wonderful that he loves us so much that he will touch our hearts and bless us when we least expect it, but we KNOW it's him!

I remember driving to work one day, praying (eyes open) and telling the Lord how much I loved him. I looked up and in the sky right in my view there was a HEART-SHAPED CLOUD! It was surreal and I know I blinked a few times, but it was there and real and it was for me, God's way of saying "I love you too.".
