Psalm 80, Where does your relationship with Christ need revived?

Read Psalm 80

In moments when you realize that your self-relieance is insufficient, your faith reaches beyond yourself, calling on God to help. You remember times when God's loving care was clearly evident, providing and protecting.

Reviewing the shared history of God's people the psalmist writes of how God has seemed to distance God's self from God's people, putting them in distress and danger. Crying for Divine help, the psalmist begs for salvation. The prayer asks for release into relief, grounded in the restoration of faithful relationship.

Where does your relationship with Christ need revived?

We praise Thee, O God!
For the Son of Thy love,
For Jesus Who died,
And is now gone above.

Refrain

Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! Thine the glory.
Revive us again.

We praise Thee, O God!
For Thy Spirit of light,
Who hath shown us our Savior,
And scattered our night.

Refrain

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath borne all our sins,
And hath cleansed every stain.

Refrain

All glory and praise
To the God of all grace,
Who hast brought us, and sought us,
And guided our ways.

Refrain

Revive us again;
Fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be rekindled
With fire from above.

Refrain

("Revive Us Again" byWilliam P. Mackay)
