When revival comes
the church pews will be empty
and the altar filled
with tear-stained carpet
of men and women repenting.
When revival comes
it likely won’t be
with the sound
of a mighty rushing wind,
but it will be found
in sharing the gospel
with an unbelieving friend.
When revival comes
The homeless find shelter
The hungry are fed
The hurting have hope
because God’s people
no longer walk in apathy
but in humility
putting others’ needs
above their own.
When revival comes
we will be doers
of the Word
not just hearers.
We will daily deny ourselves
pick up our cross
not caring the cost
and follow Christ.
When revival comes.
