I've played my harp, I've swung my sword
And in Your Name's sake declared my wars
No shining robes, skin for Your clothes
My cross You carried to the darkest low
I don't wanna miss You guarding my position
I don't wanna build my kingdom with the only goal to win
God I wanna listen, let You speak into the cycle
Come turn my tables over, not mine but Your revival
Friend of the weak, help for the poor
You see the hurting I have ignored
Teach me to weep, not look away
If Your heart is broken, teach mine to break
I don't wanna miss You guarding my position
I don't wanna build my kingdom with the only goal to win
God I wanna listen, let You speak into the cycles
Come turn my tables over, not mine but Your revival
Let justice roll, let mercy move
Who cares if I'm offended if I'm close to You
The noisy songs, Father, cut through
I want only the revival that leads to You
Let justice roll, let mercy move
Who cares if I'm offended if I'm close to You
The noisy songs, Father, cut through
I want only the revival that gives me You
I don't wanna miss You guarding my position
I don't wanna build my kingdom with the only goal to win
God I wanna listen, let You speak into the cycle
Come turn my tables over, not mine but Your revival
I want Your revival
Not mine but Your revival
