about

When a revival tent went through town it provided inspiration for this song. The bridge is a real life event, the revival tent was blown down by strong winds. Revival was written in April 2018.

lyrics

If you’re looking for change and
Your life needs rearranging
Open up your Bible
It’s time for a revival

Stand up on your feet
Give your hands a beat
Let the Spirit lead
Jesus we came to meet

Bring all your trials
Dust off your Bible
No more denial
It’s time for a revival

The water’s getting deeper
It’s not getting any clearer
It’s getting harder to hear
It’s getting harder to see

Wake up you who sleep
Expose the darkness when you speak
Lift up the cross
Hear the voice of God

Bring all your trials
Dust off your Bible
No more denial
Let’s have us a revival

Comfort is all we seek
Our own fear we cannot see
In our beliefs we are discreet
A selfish survival

Our faith we have concealed
Afraid to disagree
Cry to God on your knees
Bring on the revival

Bring all your trials
Dust off your Bible
No more denial
It’s time for a revival

The clouds come blowing in and the rain starts coming down
Let the enemy bring this tent to the ground
The Spirit is already here, the revival has begun
We’ll sing beneath the stars, O God let the people come!

Bring all your trials
Dust off your Bible
No more denial
It’s time for a revival
