That inspired me to weeping and longings for Jesus! Hallelujah! Lord give us much more of this!

Is every one else (congregation) making up their own songs at the same time or is this not a worship service or what is it?

From the description of the video, it seemed to be a part of a Sunday night service. Not sure if it was considered praise and worship but there were people worshipping openly in the congregation.

I confess - it does leave me a bit confused - but I sort of enjoyed it antway..

Yes friends this is what worship service looks like in some Churches nowadays. I like it far more than the usual Pentecostal shouting type meetings.

I recently downloaded some of his music-not my cup of tea for the most part-too much repition. but to each his own

MY kind of worship music amongst many others of course, but I can get carried away listening to this..and singing along, yes its different from the usual jumpin/hoppin I also love., this is a very nice other option, I can listen to this a lot., good for private meditation into praise worship times at home, as well.

Okay

I was going to keep my mouth shut but I can not. Sorry

The way some of you talk this is all a "new" form or worship. Not sure I would call what she was doing 'spontaneous'. She got done at the end and reached down and flipped papers. That says she was reading something or following something. Sorry but I did not feel anything special about her tongues or her singing. Maybe I'm just dead, who knows.
Besides this type of thing of singing and worshipping God 'spontaneously', as you seem to put it, is something I have seen and heard all my life, even in the ULTRA CON churches I grew up around. I have even heard a woman sing in tongues once. She was singing and the next thing you know it was in tongues and kept right on. Those who knew the words to the song needed no one to interpret for them. She kept right up with the music just in tongues. THAT WAS SOMETHING I FELT. You could feel the spirit of God in it.
I have always felt pretty good at feeling things out. I know we do not serve God on a feeling but when His spirit moves in something there is NO mistaking it. Sorry but I did not feel anything with this. Okay so you wanna say it was because it was via a recording. SORRY but I have always been able to feel a REAL move of God even through recordings. If God moved in a service that was recorded I believe it is going to be felt even through recorded versions.
I don't mean to disappoint you all or throw a wet blanket on your 'adoration' of this video, and maybe it is just me, but I didn't get whatever the rest of you are getting. (maybe that is a good thing)
I had no problems with it but from the looks and sounds of it I felt like it was our church on a dead night. =)

Looks to me like her flipping the page of the book signified they were going to the next song. That had nothing to do with whether the song she sang was "spontaneous".

Actually as far as "spontaneous" goes most Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches leave some room for that in worship. Some Apostolic groups are picking up on this kind of worship and I think its a good thing. By this kind of worship I mean a kind of blending of Charismatic and Contemporary Christian music.

I can only speak for the Oneness Churches I've personally been in but to me the shockamoo thing gets old fast. I like songs that are sang directly to the Lord for worship.

When I saw Kim Walker doing this I felt the glorious spirit of Jesus Christ bringing me to tears. Of course I have felt that once in a while from something "Pentecostal".

Back in the 70's I fellowshipped with a group called The Ceylon Pentecostal Mission. They were like their name implies very strong in Pentecostal doctrine but had heavily Charismatic worship. They sing in tongues a lot! It was very wonderful. I have never experienced greater seasons in worship than those days.

I guess a "dead service" must be in the eye of the beholder.
