REVIVE OUR HEARTS

The winds of change are blowing fast
Amidst the graying shades of light
While hearts once burning bright and clear
Are falling prey to dread and fear.

Where is the joy when first we met
The Carpenter of Nazareth
When love tore through a world in shame
And victory conquered in His name?

Is it perchance the world's allure
Has turned our eyes toward other gods
While we refuse to bear His cross
And for His sake count all things loss?

The Trumpet-Call will soon announce
The coming of our Lord and King!
The world will never find their way
Until ablaze, we watch and pray

REFRAIN
Lord! Shine upon us once again
Remove the sins that mar Your Name
Restore the Spirit's quickening power
That we may serve each day and hour.

LORD,SEND THE RAIN!

We hear of distant thunder clouds
We long for later rain.
Our barren souls are thirsty, Lord
For showers to remain.

Remove the guilt our sin has caused
And with repentant heart
May love begin to flow again
And never more depart.

The Master waits to open wide
The floodgates of His grace
So that the message of the cross
May reach each tribe and race.


REFRAIN
Lord, let the showers of heaven descend
Pour out the oil of joy again.
Breathe through our hearts your love today
And may your waiting Church obey.
--B. Pent
