Shift
Eddie James Lyrics

Send a revival Lord
Asking God to bring a spiritual awakening and renewal among Christians

Fire blazin'
Praying for the Holy Spirit's fire to infuse and transform believers

The body of Christ is snoring and complacent
Admitting that many Christians have become apathetic and unresponsive to God's call

Wake us from our slumber
Requesting God to awaken believers from spiritual lethargy and inactivity

Call us to greatness
Asking God to inspire believers to pursue their full potential in Christ and make an impact in the world

We started the race
Acknowledging that Christians have already embarked on a journey of faith

With Your help we can make it
Affirming that believers need God's assistance to persevere and succeed in their walk with Him

Shake us aggressively
Praying for God to shake believers out of their comfort zones and challenge them to grow

Pour out Your love
Requesting God to pour out His unconditional love upon believers and inspire them to share it with others

Give hope to the ones that stopped and gave up
Asking God to bring encouragement and renewal to believers who have lost their zeal and motivation

Show signs and wonders Lord
Requesting God to demonstrate His power and glory through miraculous acts

All for Your glory
Affirming that everything believers do should be aimed at glorifying God

Father God we need another outpouring

Rising up in this hour

Are the violent who take it by force
Referring to those who are passionate, determined, and persistent in pursuing God's will and purposes

Things won't look the same
Expecting that the future will be different from the past or the present

Shift
Expressing the need and desire for a spiritual transformation and renewal

A fresh wind, fresh wine, fresh manna from heaven
Anticipating a new and refreshing move of God's Spirit, provision, and revelation

A new wineskin that won't compromise with sin
Expecting that God will raise up a new kind of church or community that is pure, holy, and uncompromising

There's a new breed of Christians
Observing that a new kind of believers is emerging who are committed, radical, and consecrated

Sanctified nazarites

A consecrated tribe
Referring to a community of believers who are set apart, devoted, and united in their faith and mission

A bride pure and holy

And in the garment polluted by flesh

Let us speak to the spiritual deaf

Raise the dead

Remind us that we're the body and You are the head

Set a fire to this dry and stagnant generation
Praying for God to ignite a passion and zeal for Him among the younger generation who may feel disillusioned, apathetic, or disengaged

Build us an army from every tongue and nation

Harvest the grain

Now is the season
