Lord to us this generation. Verse 2 Lord we need revival fire all across this land Hear the cry of worship rising, rising up to you Show yourself! Bridge Repeat Lord in this dry and thirsty land We crying out to you Our spirits longing for more of your rain Revive us again. Refrain Send us your revival oh! Lord we need revival oh!
We praying for revival oh! Send revival rain upon our land — 2x. Send us your revival oh! Send revival rain upon our land. Story Behind The Song The lyrics for this song came to me while I was reading and pondering over the scripture in Revelation , They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, For you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
However, in worship they cast their crowns at the feet of God and then bow, the symbolism of meaning of this picture before the Throne says that their position is not worth the presence and worship due God.
Then the thought of if the twenty four elders in such esteemed glorious position will do this, how about we on earth?
We must do much more in our earthly worship to God as no crown position on this earth can stand in comparison of this. Divine grace like a smoothly flowing, fertilising, full, and never failing river, yields refreshment and consolation to believers.
This is the river of the water of life, of which the church above as well as the church below partakes evermore. It is no boisterous ocean, but a placid stream, it is not stayed in its course by earthquakes or crumbling mountains, it follows its serene course without disturbance.
Happy are they who know from their own experience that there is such a river of God. Two stops after the train took off, it pulled up and these two ladies board the train. Their open indulgement soon got the attention of everyone on the train, it was now obvious to everyone at that point what they meant to each other. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. Again I will build you and you will be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel!
Again you will take up your tambourines, And go forth to the dances of the merrymakers. Verse 2 I desire that you know who I am I desire that you hear when I call I desire that you go when I send I desire that you trust me and obey. Just when I made the bend onto Thirty Fourth Street, I heard as it were and very clear as day the sounds of trumpets. This was a sound coming from the depth of my spirit, I quickly pulled out my cell phone and started recording as I heard.
Those are the same trumpets you now have the priviledge of hearing at the beginning and all through this song. By the time I made it to the train hub on Thirty Fourth Herald Street station, a fresh download of song has come from heaven. I will spend the next couple of months writing and tweaking and waiting on the Lord for the opportune time to produce it. The instrumentation and vocal rendering sounds like having Deitrick Haddon and Bishop Hezekiah Walker do a praise and worship mash up in an African voice.
His calling us! A Smile For My Storm is a Traditional gospel birthed from a place of prayer, pain and a stormy season of life. The lyrics testify the true life experience of how God anchors us through the stormy times of life and gives us a smile for our storm.
Further development of the blues form and the free improvisation on instruments left lying around after the American civil war helped provide an environment for the development of many creative forms of music.
The gospel music industry today in all its various genres has sprung from the well of these early forms of free musical expression. From the roots of early African-American music developed gospel quartets in an acappella style.
In the early twentieth century there were many successful black gospel musicians. Black gospel music began to infiltrate black churches. The holiness-Pentecostal movement suited people who were not familiar with regular church music, and they also allowed the members of the congregation to use tambourines, drums, electric guitars or anything else they had at hand.
The organ remained a prominent feature of the music of some churches that were established in this tradition. Gospel music and Pentecostalism went hand in hand. Many famous musicians such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mahalia Jackson, and the Blackwood Brothers were raised in Pentecostal churches, or have acknowledged the influence of that tradition.
Thomas A. The National Baptist Convention first publicly endorsed gospel music in and this further helped establish gospel music as an accepted form of worship in American churches. Today, black gospel and white gospel tend to be distinct genres for different audiences. A Gospel Music Association was formed but it is mainly for white audiences and includes the music of famous white gospel artists such as George Beverly Shea and Bill and Gloria Gaither.
There is a Gospel Music Hall of Fame , which includes a few black artists, such as Mahalia Jackson, but which ignores most black artists. One of the earliest proponents of one of the most popular forms of music today was Elvis Presley.
Film footage of his concerts reveals him returning to his motel room after a performance to meet with well-known gospel singers of the day like the Statler brothers. A more recent proponent of gospel music is Andrae Crouch. His influence on the modern music scene is quite notable considering he is mainly known for his contribution to Christian music. Andrae was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in and is one of only 3 people to have their name added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame while they were still alive.
Andrae was a main contributor to the music scene in the s — a period known as the Jesus Movement when the CCM music genre contemporary Christian music was being developed. His music brought together the world of urban gospel and church music. His songs are now sung in churches all over the world. The influence of Andre Crouch and other gospel artists on my own style of worship music can be seen not so much stylistically but in my general approach to spontaneous creativity during the performance of a song.
I once had the privilege of attending a music seminar where Andrae Crouch demonstrated for us how he matched certain vowel sounds and creative vocal phrases with certain chords and harmonic structures.
Gospel music itself was very influential in my own musical development as a child. The influence of the pentatonic scale and simple phrasing of these Negro spirituals can be felt in my own folksy ballads and simple worship choruses.
