Can an emotional reaction to rapture in song mean anything?

Chalk it up to weariness of a latest string of sadnesses, sleeping on a bad bed for a few days, airline travel stress, or whatever...even so, could it be the Holy Spirit within me weeping in joy for He is coming very soon now?
There are certain songs in church that cause a reaction, emotionally, more than other songs. And in going to church, I was carrying the burden of the passing my husband's mom (his sorrows and concern for his dad are significant), the loss of 2 of our dogs 2 weeks apart (they were close in age and older), my friend losing her related dog within the same time frame, and she being sad about it and sad for us as she had to put the 1st of our dogs down while we were away, and then was caring for the 2nd dying dog while we were away again...and there are other family things going etc etc.. So going into the song Cornerstone, I was doing well. I like the verses very much and I thought of my husband next to me in church which he never goes, but went today. I was praying that he would hear the Lord's voice in the song,,, Then we get to the final verse. I didnt even bother to sing it. My friend mentioned above plays violin up there and she saw me. As I was weeping, it really had NOTHING to do with my list above. It had everything to do with longing for the Rapture. Any song with the word trumpet in it chokes me up.
Is this the Holy Spirit crying for JOY, and not sorry, but to acknowledge in me that, of all the inspirational verses in songs and in the Bible, the ones concerning the Rapture cause a reaction in me because the HS is validating that we are indeed close to the rapture?
words to Cornerstone, by Hillsong United
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name
(repeat)
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
When Darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless stand before the throne.
