Lyrics
Great Awakening's Coming
Townley/Poole
(c) 2004 Studio Mac Sounds
I've prayed to you in the quiet Lord
for rivers to rise, still waters no more.
For the wind that blows from a western sea
to rain revival on a silent seed.
For the Great Awakening's coming.
The Great Awakening's coming.
I hear a sound in the silence Lord;
a distant waterfall's steady roar.
A restless breeze in a barren land
that blows through the heart of a sinful man
Great Awakening's coming.
The Great Awakening's coming.
I feel it in the stillness Lord;
crashing waves on a rocky shore
A shifting wind that conceals a storm;
and swirls through a people who have been reborn.
Great Awakening's coming.
The Great Awakening's coming.
We see it through the darkness Lord
but in our peace, do we close the door,
to a rushing wind from a Holy Fire;
do we quench the Spirit's one desire?
Great Awakening's coming.
Yes, a Great Awakening's coming.
