The Great Awakening

1/12/2018

 
🔥The Great Awakening🔥

One man wakes, awakens another
Second one wakes his next door brother
Three awake can rouse a town
And turn the whole place upside down

Many awake will cause such a fuss
It finally awakes all of us
One man wakes with dawn in his eyes
Surely then it multiplies
Surely then it multiplies

One man wakes, awakens another
Second one wakes his next door brother
Three awake can rouse a town
And turn the whole place upside down

Many awake will cause such a fuss
It finally awakes all of us
One man wakes with dawn in his eyes
Surely then it multiplies
Surely then it multiplies

What an amazing song. It really expresses what goes on in the heart of anyone who has been Born Again! Just like babies announce their arrival with a lot of noise so do those made Alive by the Spirit of God! And I haven’t sopped talking about Him yet…😂

The following poem was written during the revival known as “The Great Awakening” of the mid 1700s. George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards were powerfully used by God to call the people of America to Himself. Thousands upon thousands were Born Again during this revival or ‘awakening’.

Awake or Awaken
by Lawrence Tribble

One man awake, awakens another.
The second awakens his next-door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town,
By turning the whole place upside down.
The many awake can make such a fuss,
It finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up with dawn in his eyes,
Surely then multiplies.

During the Jesus People Revival a song was written by Kurt Kaiser that expresses the same Truth. Over time it became a ‘campfire’ song that everyone sings and lost it’s Christian message. I expect quite a few folks remember this one.

Pass It On
Kurt Kaiser, 1971

It only takes a spark to get a fire going
And soon all those around can warm up to its glowing
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You spread your love to everyone
You want to pass it on

What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming
That’s how it is with God’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I’ve found
You can come join in, it matters not where you’re bound
I’ll shout it from the mountain tops
I want the world to know
The joy of friends has come to me
​I want to pass it on.
Jesus gave Himself yo you so you could give Him to others.
Good Morning. Pass Him on.
Love Him.
