a different kind of revival

for ages, its beauty has not been foretold
and the world is left wondering what's left to behold
while they know that their hearts seem to long for much more
they're about to see something unwitnessed before.

for the church is a body, quite tattered and torn
it was hated the minute revival was born
and it will be hated long after we're gone
yet, do not lose your hope, for here comes the dawn:

a day is soon coming when something will change,
where our hard, calloused hearts our Lord will rearrange.
it sounds great to conform, but yet something remains,
and even now, the church is having growing pains

for something is birthing on the inside of this
and this coming revival you won't want to miss
while some will step back and resist Heaven's fire,
it won't take long for the Lord to take you much higher.

the calloused, stone hearts will soon come to life,
and the word of the lord will cut spirits as a knife.
it won't be pleasant, and it won't be easy,
but it will surely set the captives free.

coming alive in a way never known
and the church will be ostracized, going it alone
but then we'll see our Jesus' face
and everything else will just fall into place.

are you ready for this movement?
i'm calling it love.
