Jesus Culture - Fresh Outpouring Lyrics
Lyrics
Renew us in this day
Just like You said You would
Your word is not in vain
Our hearts reaching heavenward
Fresh outpouring
Tear the fabric open
Come, Jesus, come
Breath of Heaven
Nothing left unshaken
We long for more
We need a fresh outpouring
Unleash a fresh outpouring
We need a fresh outpouring
Unleash a fresh outpouring
As temporary fades
Let glory invade this earth
Your power on display
Our eyes looking heavenward
There is fire stirring in our bones
A shout is rising, rising up inside
Soak the earth, come and fill our hearts
Your voice is calling, calling us to life

Jesus Culture - Fresh Outpouring (Live) ft. Kim Walker-Smith
Meaning & Inspiration
Jesus Culture's "Fresh Outpouring," featured on the 2017 deluxe edition of "Love Has a Name," is a powerful anthem of spiritual longing and revival. The song centers on a profound yearning for divine intervention and renewal, echoing the promises of God found throughout Scripture. The lyrical plea, "Renew us in this day, just like You said You would," directly references the prophetic assurances found in passages like Jeremiah 31:33, where God declares, "I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." This isn't merely a wish; it's a confident expectation based on God's faithfulness. The opening lines establish a posture of hearts turned heavenward, a consistent theme in biblical worship and supplication, reminiscent of David's many psalms lifting his gaze and spirit towards God.
The core of "Fresh Outpouring" lies in its fervent request for a tangible manifestation of God's presence. Phrases like "Tear the fabric open" and "Nothing left unshaken" speak to a desire for a radical spiritual awakening that disrupts the mundane and awakens the soul. This is more than a gentle nudge; it's a call for a powerful, transformative encounter. The repetition of "We need a fresh outpouring, unleash a fresh outpouring" underscores the urgency and collective desire for this divine intervention. This mirrors the fervent prayers of the early church, as depicted in Acts 4:31, where, after prayer, "the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness." The song articulates a hunger for that same Spirit-filled boldness and the shaking that signifies God's active presence.
The lyrics move beyond mere passive reception, calling for God's "glory to invade this earth." This echoes the eschatological hope found in passages like Isaiah 11:9, which prophesies, "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." The aspiration is for God's reign and presence to become so evident that it transforms the very fabric of our world. The imagery of "fire stirring in our bones" and "a shout is rising" speaks to an internal, uncontainable conviction and a desire to proclaim God's truth. This resonates with the experience of the prophets, who often felt an irresistible call to speak God's word, even when met with resistance. Ultimately, "Fresh Outpouring" is a deeply spiritual song that articulates a universal Christian longing for God's renewed presence, a revival that revitalizes individuals and impacts the world, all grounded in the unwavering promises of His Word.
