Rhett Walker's song 'Revival' is a passionate plea for personal spiritual renewal. The lyrics contrast the comfort of traditional church routines with the urgent need for a transformative, Holy Spirit-driven revival that begins within the individual before impacting the world. Walker sings about a 'holy thunder' shaking his bones and a resurrection power that can raise people from spiritual death. The song emphasizes that true change starts with oneself, calling for the Holy Spirit to tear down barriers and overturn complacency. It's an energetic worship anthem that encourages believers to seek God's renewing power in their own lives.

Oh I love a Sunday morning
The family choir singing just as I am
You know I love to hear a sermon
From a small-town faithful gospel-preaching man
But if I want this world around to change
I can't stay the same, something has to break
I need revival deep in my soul
That holy thunder shaking my bones
Before I take it to the streets
The revolution starts with me
I need revival in my soul
And there's a resurrection power
That can pull this world right up out the grave
And there's a road that leads to freedom
Holy Spirit come and show me the way
I need revival deep in my soul
That holy thunder shaking my bones
Before I take it to the streets
The revolution starts with me
I need revival in my soul
Tear the roof off
Flip the tables
Holy Spirit
Only you are able
Come tear the roof off
Come flip the tables
Holy Spirit
Only you are able
I need revival deep in my soul
That holy thunder shaking my bones
Before I take it to the streets
The revolution starts with me
I need revival in my soul
I need revival deep in my soul
That holy thunder shaking my bones
Before I take it to the streets
The revolution starts with me
I need revival in my soul
