Awestruck Revival
Gable Price and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been drowning out my old man
I caught a glimpse from my wide eyes
Eternity by the shoreside
I've been thinking from the 'finite
When the finer things in life are with you
Grinning like a child
Running in a circle
Like I'm happy and young
Awestruck revival ain't no youthful hearts fray
If your soul is on fire
Don't doubt it will stay
You are respiring
You're filling my lungs
And I'm starstruck
Because your pockets are full of the dust that we come from
I've been searching for some sunlight
In the middle of the summer time
I've been thinking from the 'finite
When the finer things in life are with you
Grinning like a child
Soaking in the sun
Running in a circle
Like I'm happy and young
Awestruck revival ain't no youthful hearts fray
If your soul is on fire
Don't doubt it will stay
I've been dreaming of falling asleep
While I'm speaking in tongues to a progressive beat
I can't wait for the promised land
Standing on a beach with my friends and my foes and the sand in my feet
I've been dreaming of falling asleep
While I'm speaking in tongues to a progressive beat
I can't wait for the promised land
Standing on a beach with my friends and my foes and the sand in my feet
I've been dreaming of falling asleep
While I'm speaking in tongues to a progressive beat
I can't wait for the promised land
Standing on a beach with my friends and my foes and the sand in my feet
Grinning like a child
Awestruck revival ain't no youthful hearts fray
If your soul is on fire
Don't doubt it will stay
Awestruck revival ain't no youthful hearts fray
If your soul is on fire
Don't doubt it will stay
The lyrics of Gable Price and Friends’ song Awestruck Revival are open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that they are about seeking a transcendent experience that connects the finite and infinite, the temporal and eternal. The imagery of a crucifix in the left hand and drowning out the old man could suggest a desire to shed the past and embrace a new faith or belief system. The glimpse from wide eyes of eternity by the shoreside could represent a moment of grace or revelation that opens up a new perspective on life.
The repeated refrain of grinning like a child, soaking in the sun, and running in a circle reflects the joy and energy of the moment, and the idea that an awestruck revival can bring youthful exuberance even to those who are no longer young. The line about pockets full of dust that we come from acknowledges the mortality and impermanence of life, but suggests that the same dust that we return to is also the source of new life and energy. The dream of falling asleep while speaking in tongues to a progressive beat could be a metaphor for letting go of conscious control and surrendering to a higher power or creative force. The promise of standing on a beach with friends and foes, united by the sand in their feet, suggests a vision of reconciliation and harmony that transcends divisions and differences.
Overall, Awestruck Revival is a song about the search for meaning, connection, and renewal that can come from experiencing awe and wonder in the midst of life’s struggles and uncertainties.

Standing on a beach with my friends and my foes and the sand in my feet

Being awestruck and inspired can happen at any age
If your soul is on fire
If you are passionate and driven

I’m glad we are being more expressive in our music as Christians. We need to rival the world’s music in every way but for Jesus Christ’s glory.
