Will you not revive us once more?
Then your people will rejoice in you!
O Lord, show us Your loyal love!
Bestow on us Your deliverance!
I will listen to what God the Lord says.
For He will make peace with his people, His faithful followers.
Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.
Certainly His loyal followers will soon experience His deliverance;
then His splendor will again appear in our land.
Loyal love and faithfulness meet;
deliverance and peace greet each other with a kiss.
Faithfulness grows from the ground,
and deliverance looks down from the sky.
Yes, the Lord will bestow His good blessings,
and our land will yield its crops.
Deliverance goes before Him,
and prepares a pathway for Him.
** Psalm 85:6-13
what would it take to revive our land, Lord? what would it take to have Your splendor shine upon us? we all need deliverance! deliverance comes from the Lord only. only Him can grant us deliverance.
what would be our part, Lord? we have to be faithful. each and everyone of us who has known Christ, we should not go back to our own foolish way! this is really critical!
nothing compares with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. when God's loyal love and faithfulness meet, surely deliverance will be granted for us, peace will be with us. as Jesus has come to the world, perform the complete faithfulness, went to the cross for love sake. all of our debts have been paid, we received deliverance from our sin.
God will grant us His great blessing. when people are freed, surely the land they live will bear its fruits. but again, there has to be deliverance!!
revive us, Lord.
revive us.
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation".
