This song by Robin Mark is unsurprisingly a call for revival. You can hear a version of it in this clip. I’m using the arrangement in the Source New Songs, but I’m aware Robin Mark does it differently, with additional words and longer verses. While it has no obvious liturgical use in the Catholic Church, the sentiments are nonetheless needed.
Verse 1
As sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet,
So you love this city and you love these streets.
Every child out playing by their own front door
Every baby laying on the bedroom floor.Chorus
I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
“Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down”.
Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!
Verse 2From the Preacher preaching when the well is dry
To the lost soul reaching for a higher high
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
To the widow walking through the vale of tearsChorus
Verse 3
Every man and woman, every old and young
Every fathers daughter, every mothers son.
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You’re going to send revival, bring them all back homeChorus
