As we study church history and revival we find that in all true revivals there was a clear outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We need to seek this fresh presence of the Spirit as we prepare our hearts for our special meetings in a few days. As God's Spirit is poured out in a fresh manner it will change our lives as Christian believers. There will be a sense of the nearness and presence of Christ in our midst as never before. We will have a longing for holiness and purity. There will be a fresh burden for the souls of men. All these are the marks of true revival.

We love the hymns of Keith and Krystyn Getty and sing them often in our worship. Here is one on the Holy Spirit that deserves our attention and meditation.

You can access this beautiful hymn and hear it sung by Krystan at the following link:

Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Kristyn Getty
© 2006 Thankyou Music

Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the risen Lord
To renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see;
Give me passion for Your purity.
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.

Holy Spirit, come abide within;
May Your joy be seen in all I do—
Love enough to cover ev'ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude,
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace.
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.

Holy Spirit, from creation's birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show your power once again on earth;
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see
