Fear of God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Awake Us, O LORD

Shake us and wake us
Revive us, O Lord
Send down the fires
May Your Spirit, be poured.

An Awakening, a Revival
Doesn’t happen by chance
God is seeking a tinder
A praying warrior, to advance.

Start a fire, LORD we ask
And burn up the dross
Great repentance and turning
Before yet more, are lost.

Instead, Jesus commands us
To love, even our foe
So live not, based on feelings
Obey Jesus, and grow.

So, each offence forgive
Repent, be reconciled
Be freed from those burdens
Pray God’s love, be recognized.

God has called us to love
With all of our heart
When offenders, then hurt us
To forgive, on our part.

Since we all get offended
And respond to each other
To forgive or avenge?
God’s love, or we suffer?

So, the ark saved in this world
With protection and provision
While Jesus’ cross, offers His life
For both here, and in heaven.

Yes, are wearing Jesus’ Name
And call themselves Christians
But are not born again
So rebellious, no contrition.

Instead, self becomes center
Instead of Christ
Our thinking, our deciding
Self-fulfilment, our prize.
