Revival
A.C.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a sermon on a mound and we're in the business of saving souls
So let us raise the tent and set up all the chairs
And pass out all the hymns and get ready for fervor, fervor
We sing, we sing, we sing cause we're just smoke in the wind
Yeah, we are just vapor
We fight the good fight and we fight the good fight
And then we disappear
Yeah, we are just vapor
We fight the good fight and we fight the good fight
And then we disappear
(Please go, put your nets down and just follow
Lighthouses that lead back to the place we can call home
Cause the seas big and our boats are small)
Come all you weary and burdened, in dismay and despair
We've got ourselves a River, bring your troubles and wash em there
Let's let the devil know we're here and we're not going anywhere
Let's sing as if we're angels with lungs that can't lose air
Let's let the devil know we're here and we're not going anywhere
Let's sing as if we're angels with lungs that can't lose air
We sing, we sing, we sing cause we're just smoke in the wind
Yeah, we are just vapor
We fight the good fight and we fight the good fight
And then we disappear
We sing, we sing, we sing cause we're just smoke in the wind
Yeah, we are just vapor
We fight the good fight and we fight the good fight
And then we disappear
(Please go, put your nets down and just follow
Lighthouses that lead back to the place we can call home
Cause the seas big and our boats are small)
We sing
Please go, put your nets down and just follow
Lighthouses that lead back to the place we can call home
Cause the seas big and our boats are small
We are the prayer requests
We are the tithing dues
The preaching pulpit
Revival in the pew
We are the prayer requests
We are the tithing dues
The preaching pulpit
Revival in the pew
Please go, put your nets down and just follow
Lighthouses that lead back to the place we can call home
Cause the seas big and our boats are small
We sing
Please go, put your nets down and just follow
Lighthouses that lead back to the place we can call home
Cause the seas big and our boats are small
