On Our Knees?

I see Your glory covering the earth, Lord

Just as the waters are covering the sea

I see the millions coming to salvation

I see revival fire in the land

Do it Lord, do it Lord

Do it Lord, we are praying,

Do it Lord, do it that Your glory may be seen

We sang this song at church on Sunday.  I've heard it hundreds of times, but this time it really struck me.  We pray for ourselves, our families, our churches, the people we come into contact with, maybe even people on the other side of the world...but what are we praying for them?

Do we pray for revival?  I don't.  At least, I didn't.  And you know why I think most of us probably don't?  We don't believe it.  If we really believed that God is capable of creating a revival, don't you think we would be praying fervently for that?  

We know that one day "every knee will bow" [Philippians 2:10], but when I hear that verse, I think of Heaven.  One day, after all is said & done, every knee will bow - Heaven, & earth, & under the earth.  But why can't we pray for that now?  Why don't we believe that a revival is not only possible, but that it is possible in our lifetime?  Our generation?

I see a near revival

stirring as we pray & seek

we're on our knees

we're on our knees...
