something got a hold of me
something got a hold of me
I went to a meeting one night
???????? something got a hold of me.

Is it the one by The Blind Boys of Alabama?

Here's some of the words from the recording:

Something got a hold of me
Something got a hold of me
something's wrong with me
Something got a hold of me

If you had been there
You would have shouted too
Something came from somewhere
and it made me feel brand new
The Holy Spirit came and it surely
set me free

"Something Got Hold Of Me"
R. E. Winsett (arr)

1st
Oh, when I first heard of the people who claim that old time religion is real,
I said, "I'll go down, take a look at the crowd, it's just the weak minded I feel."

chorus:
But something got hold of me, Yes, something got hold of me;
I went there to fight, but, oh, my, that night! God surely got hold of me.

2nd
I walked up the steps and I looked in the door, the devil said, "don't you go in,"
I said, " It won't hurt me, I'll just step in side, and sit as far back as I can."

chorus

3rd
The preacher just then his sermon began, and looked right straight down on me;
He told everyone just how evil I was and seemed not to think much of me.

chorus

4th
And just about then someone started to shout, he said that he knew he was saved;
All plainly could see, with no reason to doubt, salvation to him the Lord gave.

chorus

5th
I said when I went that I could not stay long, that I must be home by nine;
I fell to my knees, and the fire then came down, tho' late, I was feeling so fine.

chorus
