Send a Great Revival to My Soul!

“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? “ (Psalm 85:6).
Gypsy Smith, an old time evangelist years ago, would lock himself in a private room and mark a circle on floor with a piece of chalk. Standing inside that circle he would pray, “Lord send a revival; and let it begin with me!” That circle was ground zero; the flash point of a cardiac revolution. And you, my dear friend, are standing in that circle right now.
Take these words of the old Pentecostal hymn, written by Charles Gabriel in 1912, and make them your prayer until fire falls from heaven upon the altar of your heart.
Lord, as of old, at Pentecost,
Thou didst Thy power display,
With cleansing, purifying flame,
Descend on us today.For mighty works for Thee, prepare
And strengthen every heart;
Come, take possession of Thine own,
And never more depart.All self consume, all sin destroy!
With earnest zeal endue
Each waiting heart to work for Thee;
O Lord, our faith renew!Speak, Lord! before Thy throne we wait,
Thy promise we believe,
And will not let Thee go until
The blessing we receive.Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
Thy floodgates of blessing, on us throw open wide!
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
That sinners be converted and Thy Name glorified!
