Divine Revival Fire
Divine fire
makes spiritual endeavors ablaze
kindled by love's impact
against coldness of apathy
turning brewing friendships
to fellowship-blends so sweet.
Revival flame
exposes spirit to broiling tests
midst trials, verily roasting
revealing integrity’s credibility
demanding drive-acceleration
with pressures against slothfulness.
Fiery sessions of faith-fortitude
burn unbelief and doubt
as well as selfishness-pride
being heated up for diligent service
midst God’s compassion-furnace
toward kindness' exercise.
Transforming powerful ventures
marked by reaching-out zeal
inspire soul winning and life building pursuits
radiating the Lord’s heavenly warmth
midst simmering joy
sizzling gratefulness and steaming triumph-praise*!
*Psalm 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
