Lord, send a revival
A renewal
A refreshing among Your people
Let Your Holy Spirit rain on us

Our spirits are dry
We need refreshing

Send Your Holy Spirit
Let it fall down like rain

Let Your Holy Spirit rain on us
Send a revival

A refreshing among Your people
Overtake us, saturate us Lord

A refreshing among Your people
Let Your Holy Spirit rain on us
Send a revival
