Only You
Only You can heal our land
Only You
Only You can make things right again
Come chase our wandering hearts
These prodigals we are
Don't wait
Don't wait
Open up the heavens
Pour out Your presence
We want to see revival
Bring us back to You
Oh how we need You to
We want to see revival
Only You
Only You make darkness shake
Only You
Only You can make dry bones awake
Come fill our starving hearts
These hungry souls of ours
We wait
We wait
Open up the heavens
Pour out Your presence
We want to see revival
Bring us back to You
Oh how we need You to
We want to see revival
We want to see hearts ablaze
We want to see people changed
We want to see revival
Revival
We want to see mercy win
The hopeless to hope again
We want to see revival
Revival
We want to see lives restored
And evil to win no more
We want to see revival
Revival
We want to see miracles
Let heaven invade this world
We want to see revival
Revival
Open up the heavens
Pour out Your presence
Oh, we want to see revival
Bring us back to You
Oh how we need You to
We want to see revival
Open up the heavens
Pour out Your presence

Bring us back to You
Oh how we need You to
We want to see revival
Oh, we want to see it

"Revival" by Jesus Culture is a powerful and heartfelt worship song that calls for a spiritual awakening and the outpouring of God's presence. With its captivating melody and lyrics, the song ignites a deep yearning for revival in the hearts of believers.
The song begins with the acknowledgment that only God has the power to heal our land and make things right again. It emphasizes the need for God's intervention in a world that is broken and lost. This sentiment is echoed in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
As the song progresses, it implores God to chase after our wandering hearts and prodigal souls. It acknowledges that we have strayed from God's path and desperately need Him to draw us back to Himself. This plea is reminiscent of the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, where the father eagerly welcomes his wayward son back with open arms and celebrates his return.
The chorus of the song cries out for the heavens to be opened and for God's presence to be poured out. It expresses the deep longing to see revival, a spiritual awakening that will bring people back to God. This desire aligns with Psalm 85:6, which says, "Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?"
Throughout the song, there is a repetition of the phrase "we want to see revival." This repetition emphasizes the urgency and passion behind the desire for revival. It reflects a longing for lives to be transformed, for hearts to be set on fire, and for evil to be overcome by the power of God. It reflects the cry of believers who are hungry for God's presence and yearn to see His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
"Revival" by Jesus Culture is more than just a song; it is a call to action. It challenges believers to be agents of change and to live lives that reflect the transforming power of God. It encourages us to be instruments through which God can bring about revival in our families, communities, and nations.
The song points to the truth that revival begins with a personal revival in our own hearts. It prompts us to examine our own lives and to surrender ourselves fully to God, allowing Him to work in and through us. It reminds us that revival is not just an event but a continuous process of seeking God, surrendering to His will, and being transformed by His love.
"Revival" by Jesus Culture is a powerful anthem that stirs the soul and calls believers to a deeper relationship with God. It reminds us of the need for revival in our own lives and in the world around us. It encourages us to seek God's face, to pray fervently, and to live lives that reflect His love and power. May this song inspire and ignite a passion for revival in our hearts, and may we be agents of change in a world that is desperate for the transforming power of God.
