It's Our Turn Now

Our Time
(This is a poem I just recently wrote)

Where are the miracles
that our fathers witnessed?
Where is the move
that our fathers started?
Where is the Spirit
that our fathers felt?
Where are the people
that our God has risen?

What happened to the miracles
that so freely were worked?
What happened to the movements
that were birthed?
What happened to the Spirit
that so freely moved?
Where did the people
that God rose go?

It's time to rise with a new song.
To dance a new dance.
It's time to wake from our centuries-long sleep.
It's time to wake the dead,
comfort the mourners, the sojourners.

Our time has come for us to change our world.
Our time has come for us to change their hearts.
Our time has come for us to rise above the darkness.
Our time has come for us to sing a new song.
Our time has come for us to prepare the way for our God

What happened to the Revival?
Where did the Great Awakening of our fathers go?
Why weren't we allowed to witness the miracles,
the Spirit's movments?
Why aren't we filled like the great revivalists?

The time has come for us to stand above the world's expectations.
The time has come for us to rise above the enemies wiles.
It is our turn to move in this dark world,
It is our turn to move in the Spirit.

What happened to the gifts
that were so freely used
by our fathers?
What happened to the prayers
that were prayed with weeping?
Where did they go?
They're so far from us!

It is time for our praise to rise
and shatter the gates of hell
It is time for our song to vibrate
through the heavenly corridors.
It is time for our prayers to heal,
make live the dead, awake the sleeping.

This is our time to sing a new song,
pray a new prayer,
dance a new dance.
NOW is our chance!


VERSE OF THE DAY:
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light."
