    Here is a song that is a prayer to the Holy Spirit.

    http://www.nethymnal.org/htm/h/o/holstdiv.htm

    HOLY SPIRIT, TRUTH DIVINE

    Holy Spirit, Truth divine,
    Dawn upon this soul of mine;
    Word of God and inward light
    Wake my spirit, clear my sight.

    Holy Spirit, Love divine,
    Glow within this heart of mine;
    Kindle every high desire;
    Perish self in Thy pure fire.

    Holy Spirit, Power divine
    Fill and nerve this will of mine;
    Grant that I may strongly live,
    Bravely bear, and nobly strive.

    Holy Spirit, Right divine,
    King within my conscience reign;
    Be my Lord, and I shall be
    Firmly bound, forever free.

    Holy Spirit, Peace divine,
    Still this restless heart of mine;
    Speak to calm this tossing sea,
    Stayed in Thy tranquility.

    Holy Spirit, Joy divine,
    Gladden Thou this heart of mine;
    In the desert ways I sing,
    “Spring, O Well, forever spring.”

    Now incline me to repent,
    Let me now my sins lament,
    Now my foul revolt deplore,
    Weep, believe, and sin no more.

    The bible tells us how to pray and that is what we should follow if we really believe. No one in scripture ever prays, sings, or worships the Spirit individually. We are to worship God in the manner He has given. Spirit and truth.

    Well, maybe that is the best approach. It just seems like sometimes the Spirit is so filling me up I'm prompted to have sweet communion with him in words.

    I am not sure what you mean by Him filling you up, but in those times praise the Lord, not the Spirit.

    Have you never sensed the filling of the Holy Spirit?

    Maybe this should be a poll, rather than asking any one person.

    Do you see a difference between being indwelt and infilled by Holy Spirit?
    Between being baptised in/by the HS?

    There is no such thing as "sensing the filling of the Holy Spirit" We are either being filled or we are not. The evidence follows if we are being filled and the filling is up to us not the Spirit.
