You showed favor to our land, O Lord
You restored the ones who wandered far
You forgave the weight of all our sin
Covered guilt we carried in our hearts
But now the fire has grown cold
We’ve forgotten what we’ve known
Won’t You speak peace to Your people again?
Revive us again, let Your mercy flow
From the depths of heaven, to the dry and low
We’re listening, Lord—come and heal our land
We remember love; we reach for Your hand
Revive us, revive us again
You pulled back wrath we surely earned
Held back judgment we couldn’t bear
But we drift like dust on desert winds
Still You wait for us in love and care
Can Your glory dwell once more?
Will You open Heaven’s door?
Won’t You stir the embers into flame?
Revive us again, let Your mercy flow
From the depths of heaven, to the dry and low
We’re listening, Lord—come and heal our land
We remember love; we reach for Your hand
Revive us, revive us again
Surely Your salvation is near
To those who fear Your name
Steadfast love and truth will meet
Righteousness and peace will kiss again
Faithfulness springs from the ground
Righteousness looks down from the skies
Let it rain, let it rise
Let our hearts be revived
Revive us again, breathe on weary bones
Call the prodigals and bring us home
We’re listening, Lord—come and heal our land
We remember love; we reach for Your hand
Revive us…
Revive us again
“Surely You will revive us again, so that Your people may rejoice in You.”

1For the leader. Of the Korahites. A psalm.
2O LORD, You will favor Your land, restore Jacob’s fortune;
3You will forgive Your people’s iniquity, pardon all their sins; selah
4You will withdraw all Your anger, turn away from Your rage.
5Turn again, O God, our helper, revoke Your displeasure with us.
6Will You be angry with us forever, prolong Your wrath for all generations?
7Surely You will revive us again, so that Your people may rejoice in You.
8Show us, O LORD, Your faithfulness; grant us Your deliverance.
9Let me hear what God, the LORD, will speak; He will promise well-being to His people, His faithful ones; may they not turn to folly.
10His help is very near those who fear Him, to make His glory dwell in our land.
11Faithfulness and truth meet; justice and well-being kiss.
12Truth springs up from the earth; justice looks down from heaven.
13The LORD also bestows His bounty; our land yields its produce.
14Justice goes before Him as He sets out on His way.
