The Revival
by Ronald Bingham

You may be just one breath away,
Was the words I heard that preacher say.
If you were to die right now are you sure you're saved?
Do you harbor hidden guilt, does it have you enslaved?

Do you want to break free from the bonds of hell?
He said listen to me friends I have a story to tell.
He said I was so far gone I thought I'd never see the light,
Till I surrendered it all to Jesus one night.

He said I was an alcoholic, a drug addict, a jailbird and an ex-con,
Been stabbed, shot, just your everyday John.
When I accepted Jesus He made me who I now am glad to be,
What He saw in me, myself I could not see.

I was a simple piece of clay and Jesus was my potter,
A vessel for the Lord, he placed me in the kiln and I felt the flames get hotter.
He burnt out all my impurities then He tempered my soul,
He gave me a mission to bring in the lost was to be my goal.

Now I hopscotch around the world, going here and there,
Spreading hope and good news, Jesus still forgives, Jesus still cares.
So before you draw that last breath make sure your soul belongs to God,
But the choice is yours, for Jesus is a gentlemen, He won't push or prod.
