Lyrics
Can you hear the Savior's call
Calling you to praise
Come up out of where you are
To a higher place
Leave your burdens at the cross
There's no worries there
Even in your darkest hour
He is always there
Wherever you are
No matter how far it is time
Get ready for revival
Open up your nets
Get ready for a catch
Get ready for revival
First you must believe
Then you will receive
Get ready for revival
Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel the fire
Do you want it
Do you want it
Do you want the fire
Yes I want it
Yes I want it
Yes I want the fire

Meaning & Inspiration
“Get Ready for Revival” is an urgent call to leave burdens at the cross and respond to the Savior with praise. The first section moves from God’s call to the assurance of his nearness, even in a dark hour. Its language invites faith rather than distance: no matter how far someone may feel, the time has come to turn toward Christ and expect his help.
The chorus joins revival with two biblical images. Opening the nets recalls the miraculous catch of fish, where trust in Jesus’ instruction precedes an overwhelming catch. The repeated call to believe and receive also stresses expectant faith, though the lyrics do not define revival as a guaranteed material outcome. The final exchanges about fire give the song a communal, energetic close. In Scripture, fire can signify God’s presence and the work of the Holy Spirit, so the image can be heard as a desire for spiritual renewal. Across its repetitions, the song presents revival as a response marked by praise, trust, surrender, and longing for God’s active presence.
