A Great Awakening

I don’t go to the theatre often, but…

This movie (use the link to learn more, and to watch the official trailer) is so inspiring and seems so appropriate to consider the history it portrays as we celebrate America 250, and as we pray for revival/a great move of God in our nation. It is still in a few theatres, but when it’s available I will be purchasing it to watch at home.

The music is powerful, so I am sharing the words to the main song below. You can click on, Awaken Us Today, to hear it on YouTube. It’s also available on other music streaming platforms.

From the oceans, through the valleys
From the mainland to the shore
Let Your Kingdom be awakened
In the hearts of men once more

Call Your children into freedom
Captive souls to liberty
Come awaken, Holy Spirit!
Come awaken us today!

Love unending, grace unyielding
Tender mercies from thy throne
Brings the lost soul into families
Calls the wayward sinner home

Bring salvation, Great Redeemer
Holy fire fan to flame
Come restore us, come revive us
Come awaken us today!

I will serve Thee, Precious Jesus
Unto Thee I give my all
Lay my hands unto thy service
And my heart unto Your call

Perish every fond ambition
Lay aside all selfish gain
All forsaken for thy glory
Come awaken us today!

Wake, O sleeper, from your slumber!
Saints awaken, come to life!
Christ will rise and shine upon you
In His heav'nly light divine

Like the sunrise in its dawning
Breaking darkness with new light
Rise upon us, King of glory
Come awaken us today!

For Your Kingdom, For Your Glory
Come awaken us today!

This song is from the album "A Great Awakening [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]".

It makes me long for more of Him, for more of his presence, for an outpouring that will reach those who don’t know Jesus, and reach those whose hearts have been turned away, to call them home to the Father. Amen and Amen!
