I wrote this poem after my husband and I had a revival meeting in West Virginia.  We both
know that the Lord is going to touch this area one day with a move of His Spirit.

Fire in the Mountains

October’s crisp clean air is blowing
and as we speak we can see our breath, 
a hot coal falls from Heaven’s altar
and sparks a blaze we’ll soon not forget.

One spark touches a dry limb
and sets one tree aflame, 
so quickly that one becomes so many
bringing God’s light and heat here once again.

We look to the hills and mountains
and see they are red as blood, 
aflame with God’s Holy power
and revival now comes in like a flood!!!

The people of large cities to are shaken
wondering why now is it happening there, 
tiny  so tiny communities swept into the move of His Spirit
and delivered of innumerable cares.

People from every nation traveling there
to see and taken in this awe,
stricken by God’s Holy fear and presence so real
you can only say, this truly is God.

So the Appalachians now has a new name
since revival has come back home,
yes, the Appalachians now have to say,
have become the mountains of God.
