Chris Sarver's 'Send The Wind' – Inviting Revival


Chris Sarver's song "Send the Wind" grew out of a prayer that Chris knows many have prayed and continue to pray. He was worshipping in a still and quiet place, and his heart drifted to an old and familiar longing for revival. In Chris' backstory, he reflects on how we often pray for widespread renewals, like those we hear about in places like Africa or ancient Nineveh. At the same time, he challenges us to consider that the fire of revival must first ignite within us. Why would we pray for God to revive the multitudes before we pray that He would revive our own hearts?

Chris Sarver - Send The WindThe lyrics beautifully capture this powerful paradigm shift. It's through lines like "Holy Spirit would you come make this space" and "Separate us from the love of anything we put in the way," that Chris reminds us that true revival starts with us, in our own hearts. We need to free ourselves from all distractions, whether sinful or seemingly innocent, that take up space in our hearts and minds that is meant for God.

As you listen to "Send The Wind," you can feel Chris' passionate plea: "Light the flame, Send the Wind." It's a call for the Holy Spirit to ignite both a personal and communal revival. 

May this song inspire you to seek God's purifying fire and a desire to want nothing less than to be a holy offering to Him. May "Send The Wind" spark your prayer, your desire, and your commitment to let God's Spirit move and renew you.

(Related scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14; Acts 2:2-4; Romans 12:2)

"Holy (In The Valley)" by Caleb Andrew: Finding His Greatness in the Valley

What if worship wasn't just for mountaintop moments? Caleb Andrew's debut single, "Holy (In The Valley)," addresses this very question. Caleb shared that this song has been in the making for 10 years. What started as a chorus and bridge written during an intense encounter with God's presence has since grown into an anthem for his life.  God's holiness doesn't fade when our life grows heavy! In other words, our God not only meets us in triumph, He also walks with us through uncertainty. The lyrics declare, "You are holy // In the valley // You are holy," turning our gaze from circumstance to Him, our Lord. When Caleb sings, "There in my weakness // You see greatness," he captures the heart of persevering faith. This song empowers you to choose to worship Him, even before a breakthrough. The lyrics have become Caleb's daily reminder: "will you let trials silence your song, or will you sing anyway?" The bridge commands cour...
