I will build My church
I will build My church
And the gates of hell will not prevail
I will build My church
I will build My church
And the gates of hell will not prevail against it
Times of refreshing now sweeping the church
God’s holy Spirit is here
Laughing and crying and inward release
Healing our hurts and our fear
After refreshing a new day will dawn
Revival is what God has planned
Reaching and drawing and winning the lost
His Spirit at work in this land
