Lyrics
Verse 1
I can feel redemption on the wind
Forgiveness like the tide rolling in
Taking up the space where shame has lived
Receiving all that You died to give
Chorus
Let the wind blow, let the tide roll
Till the earth knows, You’re a God of Love
Let my dry bones sing a new song
All the glory to the God of Love
Verse 2
I can see a valley of dry bones
Rattling, moving bone to bone
You breathe the breath of life into our lungs
Marching on our knees we march to love
Bridge
Revival’s in the air
Catch it if you can
He’s moving on the wind
The dawn is breaking
Lift your eyes to see
He’s better than you dreamed
Everything you lost
Love’s returning

Meaning & Inspiration
“Revival’s in the Air” presents renewal through images of wind, tide, dawn, and returning life. Redemption displaces shame, while forgiveness arrives with the steady force of water. The lyric’s movement from a dry valley to rattling bones gives revival a communal dimension: restored people rise, breathe, sing, and move toward love. Even the unusual image of marching on their knees keeps worship and dependence at the center rather than human strength.
The dry-bones language clearly echoes Ezekiel’s vision, where God’s breath brings life to what appeared beyond recovery. Here, that biblical image supports the song’s confidence that loss is not the final word. The repeated appeal to let the wind blow and the tide roll widens the focus from private renewal to the whole earth knowing God as loving. Its final images of breaking dawn and returning love hold hope and repentance together, portraying revival as God’s gracious work that awakens praise and restores what shame had occupied.
