When Joel, Luke and I were writing this song we were inspired by the Lord's prayer and the need for revival right now. I believe that there's a desperation that is foundational to every true move of the Spirit. And our world is desperate right now! Great revivalists have said if you want to see revival, draw a circle on the floor, step into it and pray for revival to begin there. Let it start with us!
