Reviving Wind

Yiza inkululeko

Heat of the night all around
We’re oppressed, spirits are dying
So we lie motionless on the ground
And we pray with the dawning of day
A breeze will come

It’s a reviving wind
Mightily blowing
Come on, let the new begin
Let us move along with the wind

Winter is long, hard and cold
But beneath, under the surface
There is life waiting that will unfold
With the wonderful warmth of the wind
In early spring

It’s a reviving wind
Mightily blowing
Come on, let the new begin
Since the wind is strong, let us move along
With the reviving wind
Mightily blowing
Come on, let the new begin
Let us move along with the wind

We need you, Holy Spirit, come make us new
For everything depends on you

The world is so big, we are small
Like a bird over the ocean
But it soars, never about to fall
‘Cause it’s carried aloft on the strong
And mighty wind

It’s a reviving wind
Mightily blowing
Come on, let the new begin
Since the wind is strong, let us move along
With the reviving wind
Mightily blowing
Come on, let the new begin
Let us move along with the wind
