Revival

Jeremy Camp

Lyrics
šŸ“ŗ Launch Presenter View
It takes a heart willing to receive
Willing to believe all mess it sees
It takes a fire willing to burn free
Willing to complete all the harder things

So rise on up, trust the hand
That leads you to a better plan
And there you’ll know it’s all you need
To prepare yourself to be set free

Revival
It’s burning in me
Shaking the ground beneath my feet
Revival
It’s giving control
Not holding back, do whatever I’m told
I’m on my face, on bended knees
Crying out loud for my sin’s release
Revival
Where every dead thing breathes
The Spirit’s power taking hold of me

It takes a soul praying through the dust
Dragging every fear and every broken trust
It takes a cry rising from the deep
Where the pain still bleeds and the darkness creeps

So plant your feet, don’t you run
Let the light break out where the night’s begun
So stand your ground, hold the line
Don’t let your pride hold you behind

Revival
It’s burning in me
Shaking the ground beneath my feet
Revival
It’s giving control
Not holding back, do whatever I’m told
I’m on my face, on bended knees
Crying out loud for my sin’s release
Revival
Where every dead thing breathes
The Spirit’s power taking hold of me

Strip me down to what is real
Take the parts I try to shield
Let Your fire consume the rest
’Til only You are beating in my chest
Shake these chains right off my bones
Break the grip of the lies I’ve known
Let Your fist come and split my doubt
Spirit, roar and drive it out

Revival
It’s burning in me
Shaking the ground beneath my feet
Revival
It’s giving control
Not holding back, do whatever I’m told
I’m on my face, on bended knees
Crying out loud for my sin’s release
Revival
Where every dead thing breathes
The Spirit’s power taking hold of me

The Spirit’s power taking hold of me
Revival
