A prayer for our times

I was driving to work today when this song came on the radio, as I sat listening to the lovely words I thought what a powerful prayer this is and how the church today truly does need to be revived again.

We praise Thee, O God!
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died,
And is now gone above.

Chorus.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.

We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
And hath cleansed every stain.

All glory and praise
To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us,
And guided our ways.

Revive us again;
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above.

William P. Mackay 1863



I especially love the last verse "may each soul be rekindled"

May God Bless you and fill you with his bountiful love this week as you go about your daily tasks.

Your Brother in Christ
Joel

Good post Joel. I especially like the last part--we desperately need revival and we must fervently pray for such.

Soli Deo Gloria!
