Lyrics
We are Your people
Called by Your name
Humbly bowing
Here at Your Throne
In Your presence
We find freedom
Consecrate us
To You alone
Revive us Holy Spirit
Revive us once again
You are healing
And restoring
Sons and daughters
Back to Your heart
Gracious Father
Perfect Saviour
Our Redeemer
Set us apart
Revive us Holy Spirit
Revive us once again
We repent of our selfish ways
Turn our pride into praise
All we are will bow at the name of Jesus
In our lives let Your love be shown
On this Earth let Your name be known
All creation bows at the name of Jesus
We repent of our selfish ways
Turn our pride into praise
All we are will bow at the name of Jesus
In our lives let Your love be shown
On this Earth let Your name be known
All creation bows at the name of Jesus
Revive us Holy Spirit
Revive us once again
Revive us Holy Spirit
Revive us once again

Meaning & Inspiration
Revive is a communal prayer for renewal shaped by humility, repentance, and dedication to God. The opening identifies a people called by the divine name who bow before the throne and seek freedom in the presence of God. The request for the Holy Spirit to revive them is paired with healing, restoration, and consecration. Renewal is therefore described not merely as renewed emotion, but as lives set apart and returned to the Father.
The confession of selfishness and pride closely echoes 2 Chronicles 7:14, where people called by the name of God humble themselves, pray, turn from wrongdoing, and seek his face. The repeated declaration that all will bow at the name of Jesus also reflects Philippians 2:10-11. Those passages align with the lyric without requiring claims beyond its words. The song moves from inward repentance toward public witness, asking that divine love be visible on earth and the name of Jesus be known throughout creation.
