THE CRY FOR REVIVAL

If others were like you

Cold, casual, indifferent

Ten thousands of your like

Cannot revival bring

If others were like you

Prayerless and slumbering

Ten thousand of your like

Can never hell disturb

 

If others were like you

Just eating and drinking

Ten thousand of your like

The fire will not get

This generation cries

For revival and fire

The dead hearts that we see

Shows our need for the fire

 

The dryness in our bones

As the land we compass

Shows we need revival

As sinners multiply

The coldness in the church

And on our pulpits too

Obviously shows our need

For nothing but the fire

 

This generation cries

It cries for revival

Sinners are convenient

Witches peaceful in church

Hypocrites in the fold

And sinning preachers too

This generation cries

It cries for revival

 

We have a lot of noise

Blaring from microphones

Lots of pretenders too

Singing the Saviour’s songs

These won’t revival bring

Although they’ll move the flesh

The fire is what we need

To rescue souls from hell

 

The noise on the altar

In the name of service

Won’t sinful men transform

Nor bring reviving fire

But men with tongues on fire

Men dead to self and sin

Men sold out for the Lord

Will this revival bring

 

Men Purged with the hyssop

Passionate for the Lord

Fill with the Spirit’s power

Full of the Holy Ghost

For such men Heaven’s cries

Though few and uncommon

Though unpopular too

They’ll plunder satan’s host

 

To depopulate hell

And Heaven populate

We need souls set ablaze

Souls that are set on fire

Such men are terrors to

All the demons in hell

Awake oh sleeping saint

Get aflame once again

 

This generation cries

It cries for revival

Where are the men on fire

Where are the women too

We can’t do much for God

In this generation

So we all need the fire

We need reviving fire

 

If in a short while friend

We all the fire get

The church will be revived

And Heaven will be glad

Awake oh sleeping saint

Get your soul set ablaze

Be the man with the fire

Be the man with the flame

 

Lord set my soul afire

I long to burn for you

My generation needs

My soul to be on fire

Lord set my soul afire

I long to be revived

So if men live like me

Heaven will be so glad
