O Breath Of Life

Set us afire, Lord, stir us, we pray-

while the world perishes, we go our way.

Purposeless, passionless, day after day;

set us afire, Lord, stir us, we pray!

- Unknown -

A passion for Thee; O Lord, set a fire in my soul, and a thirst for my God.

Hear thou my prayer, Lord, Thy power impart-

not just to serve, but to love Thee with all of my heart.

- Joe Zichterman -

O Breath of Life, come sweeping through us,

revive Thy church with life and pow'r;

O Breath of life, come cleanse, renew us,

and fit Thy Church to meet this hour.

O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,

till humbly we confess our need;

then in Thy tenderness remake us,

revive, restore - for this we plead.

O Breath of Love, come breathe within us,

renewing thought and will and heart;

come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us,

revive Thy Church in ev'ry part.

O Heart of Christ, once broken for us,

'tis there we find our strength and rest;

our broken contrite hearts now solace,

and let Thy waiting Church be blest.

Revive us, Lord!

Is zeal abating while harvest fields are vast and white?

Revive us, Lord - the world is waiting!

Equip Thy Church to spread the light.

- Bessie P. Head -

Wilt thou not revive us again:

that thy people may rejoice in thee?

- Psalm 85:6 -

And hope maketh not ashamed;

because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

- Romans 5:5 -

O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid:
O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years,

in the midst of the years make known;

in wrath remember mercy.

- Habbakuk 3: 2 -

Vitality is essential to any Christian ministry;

complacency is deadly.

There must be the fervency of divine life infused into us 

by God the Holy Spirit.

Just as a healthy vine manifests itself in producing foliage and fruit,

so it is with a healthy Christian-

he or she will bear evidence of an infectious enthusiasm 

for the furtherance of the gospel

and a life that produces fruits of the Spirit.

- Amazing Grace - Kenneth W. Osbeck -

We need God's continual reviving, renewing, refreshing, 

comforting, and equipping power if we are to effectively "spread the light"

and meet the needs of this hour.

Revive us again - fill each heart with Thy love;

may each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

- William Paton Mackay -

Blessings and joy to you 

on this beautiful Lord's Day!
