“The Revival Song
Lord, we are hungry for blessing
This is in tune with thy word
Now is our need we're confessing
Give us new hearts, cleansed and stirred
Great is the need of our nations
Great is the need of this hour
Lord, we abhor our stagnation
Answer with Holy Ghost power
Look on our great desperation
Hold back thy judgment, we pray
Move through the length of our nation
Open thy windows today
Lord, fill the church with thy spirit
Lord, save our nation, we pray
Quicken our love and our zeal
And send us revival today”

“The revolution began in the mid-twenty-first century, after a few earlier false starts. It essentially happened when the Gulf Stream suddenly stopped.

Civilization basically shut down. Each person brought something to make noise with, and the sound was deafening. Many had gathered in the centers of power and raised the decibel level.”
