Anticipating His Answer

"Wilt Thou not revive us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?.... I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints: but let them not turn again to folly.... Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall set us in the way of His steps" (Psalm 85:8,13). "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:6). "He [Jesus] said unto him, Follow Me" (Luke 5:27).

Will You not revive the weak,
That they may rejoice in You?
I will hear what God will speak
And I will watch what God will do.

He speaks His peace and calms our soul;
He shows the cross on which He died,
Where mercy makes the sinner whole
And righteousness is satisfied.

What words of grace our Lord conveys
To sinners who deserve His wrath!
He sets us in His perfect ways
And guides us in His footsteps' path.

Lord, we've heard Your words of peace,
And You have answered, "Follow Me."
May our revival thus increase
In Your footsteps faithfully.
