Welcome, rtlaroya!

I'm not sure, but I think whatever it was you read was a paraphrase of Lewis' discussion of Rudolf Otto's idea of the Numinous in the essay Is Theism Important, Book I, chapter 21, of the collection God in the Dock.
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
