Imagine where those feet have walked
Imagine where those bones have stood
Imagine who those arms have held
Imagine who those hands have held
Imagine for a moment
All of humanity, stretched out
Like a canvas, or a novel
Like a page in a book to be read
Imagine who has read that page
If I am not on fire
How can I convince others to burn?
If I am not thirsty for God
How can I get others to drink of living water?
If I am not hungry for His Word
How can I bring others to eat?
If I am not with God
What am I, what have I
But dust
But ashes of a broken man
Truly
I need a resurrection
Truly
I need fresh fire
Truly
I need a revelation of You
My God
Come burn in me again
Such fire I have never known
Come shake me with such passion
For those lost that I
May weep
As I have never wept before
Make me hunger
Like I have never hungered
Make me thirst
As I have never thirsted
Make me that
Which I have never been before
Make me Yours
Take me deeper into You
Lord make us desperate
And bring us back to You!
I watched, and waited
Eagerly, anticipating
The dawning, breaking light
That never was to come
In a world of darkness, with no hope
Light is, just a dream
A memory, of a past long gone
Lost in our own vanity
Now I gaze, over the cities
Waiting, for the light of day
Never to come, for we are too lost
Our fires have gone out
And I fear we will never burn again
So all is dark, for now
Only one candle remains
One small light, in a world of darkness
Begging us to hope again
And at last I see it,
A tinge of light, there
Coming on the horizon
I rise, and shout to the city
Dawn is coming!
But see, none stir
No one rises, from their slumber
They sleep, content in darkness
Not wanting to wake and see the light
Rising up before them
And now, I understand it
Why the light, has forsaken these lands
We have stopped desiring it.
We have stopped needing it.
Our necessity, for light has faded
To a contentment in the dark
So even now, as the sun rises
None wish to see
All our happy,
Safe in slumber
Dreaming of the night, and hoping
Darkness prevails
For night safer, darkness is comfortable
Light is blinding, revealing all
Men’s hearts prefer to hide their sins than
Confess and find repentance in the light
So now I see, as the sun rises
We are in need
We are in desperate need
Of fire, of a hunger
To see the light again
Darkness remains, for now
But I see the sun is rising
So for the dawn, I will wait
For the light, I will pray
And keep on walking, keep shaking
These sleeping ones, in hope they wake
To crave, to yearn once more
To see the sun again
To burn with fire once again
Now we gather, we few who hunger
Given our need by the light itself
Breaking through the blackness
We wait, we pray
For the dawn, we will yearn
For fire, we will cry
To see our homes alight again
To see our city burning bright once more
That all the darkness will flee
Every shadow, will fall
Every chain bound around us will fall
As our Savior rushes in
Riding the wings of the dawn
I know, it is not too much to hope for
I know, revival is near
So we wait, so we pray
We hunger, we cry out once more
For the dawn
For fresh fire till it comes
For need of Light, and love of day
Come burn in us again, as we wait
For the dawn
When faced with power of
Holy God in Heaven we
Are powerless, truly we are nothing without
Him who saved us for Himself
When faced with mission to
Save the lost and heal the sick
We must not fear, for power of
He in us is
Enough, enough
Against this dark and evil age
Against any power of the earth
And if we ask, in repentance
If we call on His name
He will meet us, and He will give us Himself
In form of Holy Spirit fire
And we, must not hinder it
Not fear the fire of
His glory or
Seek to control where it rages
For it, for He
Serves only One
Only Him who made it so
And He, He is One with Him
The uncreated God in Heaven and
He is not tame, nor is He weak and feeble
He is the uncreated, holy God
The Great I AM, the uncontainable
Passionate Savior, the beautiful Lover
The jealous God, whose Name is such
Whose Name is Jealous
And we, when given fire are
Not to try and dim it or
Contain it for our use
Nor are we expected to
Do anything for God without Him
Without His hand leading us
For without Him, we cannot
Without Him we are weak and flesh
But with Him, but in His hands we are
Vessels for His name, children of the Living God
Saved by His own blood!
And when He asks us to
Do something that seems
Impossible, or too daunting for
Any man of earth
We must simply, trust in Him who is
Forever good, forever just and
Unyielding to evil and
Relent to, His Holy call
Surrender to His perfect will
We must simply, hang on, and let Him carry us
And let Him use us as He wills
For He can be trusted, and He is good
So let us trust Him with our lives and
Simply hang on, to His name and Spirit and
Trust, in Him who leads us on
And let His perfect will lead us to Him,
To have as walk as He did
Not by power of ourselves but
Only of Him who loves us so
We must simply, we must unyieldingly
Hang on, hang on to His Spirit and
Let Him guide us where He wills
For He can be trusted, and He is good
Let us give our all to Him
That we may be, worthy vessels of
His Holy Name and will
Children of, the God in Heaven and
Those led by His Spirit, consumes by
His very Spirit fire
Aflame by His love
Burning for the glory of, Him and Him alone
His, and His alone
Let us cling to Him who saves
To Him who bids us to simply hang on
Him who leads us on!
