This song was inspired by the prayer of the prophet Nehemiah for the apostate nation of Israel for spiritual revival (Nehemiah 1:5). In the same way, this song is a prayer for the Lord to bring a genuine revival by His Spirit to His church, so that His people are again empassioned for His Presence and burdened to reach out in love to a lost and dying world. Yes, Lord! bring revival to Your church! |

Story Behind the Song
This song was burdened out of a deep desire to see the Lord bring a true lasting revival by His Spirit, not of hyper-emotionalism but of a genuine renewal of His people coming to a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ and desiring to bring others into that same relationship with their Creator.
Lyrics
Bring Revival!
O Lord, our great and awesome God
Let Your ear be attentive
To the prayer of Your servants
Who delight in revering Your Name
Our hearts are filled with sorrow
For the wickedness in our city
So we come to You in prayer, O Lord
Arise, release Your saving power!
Bring revival down from heaven
Make us holy, Lord, we pray
Bring salvation down from heaven
Let repentance fall today.
O Savior, they're defenseless
The strongman has control of them
Take the scales off their eyes, O God
Let them see Your saving power!
Humbly, Lord, we seek redemption
For the thousands in our city
Let our hands and mouth be instruments
Of Your great and awesome saving power!
