I love this new song by Bethel Music featuring Melissa Helser, a favorite worship leader of mine for some time now. I feel like she captures the experience of revival in this song. I love the Irish jig feeling of it too! Revival is about renewal and joy and energy that propels you into a new season of awakening and spiritual longing.

My favorite part of the song is the bridge. The full lyrics are below but here is a short excerpt from it:

Lift your eyes to see
He’s better than you dreamed
Everything you lost
Love’s returning…

“Revival’s In the Air” by Bethel Music, featuring Melissa Helser

The Christian life is not immune to pain, loss, death, or grief. However, a central theme to the work of God is redemption. He trades in our pain and loss for life and restoration. He is a God who makes beauty from ashes. He takes the broken and binds him up into something whole and beautiful.

“Revival’s in the Air” Lyrics by Bethel Music and Melissa Helser:

Verse 1
I can feel redemption on the wind
Forgiveness like the tide rolling in
Taking up the space where shame has lived
Receiving all that You died to give

Chorus
Let the wind blow, let the tide roll
Till the earth knows, You’re a God of Love
Let my dry bones sing a new song
All the glory to the God of Love

Verse 2
I can see a valley of dry bones
Rattling, moving bone to bone
You breathe the breath of life into our lungs
Marching on our knees we march to love

Bridge
Revival’s in the air
Catch it if you can
He’s moving on the wind
The dawn is breaking
Lift your eyes to see
He’s better than you dreamed
Everything you lost
Love’s returning

Written by Melissa Helser, Jonathan David Helser, and Cadence Helser.
