Revival Town
Delirious Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I've got a message to bring
I can't preach but I can sing
And me and my brothers here
Gonna play redemption hymns
We're not on our own you know
It's all around the world
'cause this is the freedom generation
Living for revival in this time

Hallelujah, people everywhere are singing
Hallelujah, you've turned my mourning into dancing

Revival town
That's what they're calling this place now
Revival town
It'll put a smile on your face now
Revival town

Well I've got a story to tell
About the King above all kings
You spoke for peace, hope, love and justice
Things that we all need today
You let a broken generation
Become a dancing generation
This is revival generation
You may not hear it on the radio
But you can feel it on the air

Hallelujah, people everywhere are singing
Hallelujah, you've turned my mourning into dancing

Revival town
That's what they're calling this place now
Revival town
It'll put a smile on your face now
Revival town




That's what they're calling this place now
Revival town
