A Word for this Generation

The following lyrics are to one of my favorite songs. It is by Bethany Dillon, written when she was like 15! It's pretty prophetic and exactly what my hearts cry has been this last year, especially for our campus. Literally every time I put this song on in my car and turn the volume up I inevitably start uncontrollably crying! So much so the last time I had to call Ross to get him to calm me down so I could see the road! haha. (that type of thing is not normal for me either) If you get a chance I encourage you to listen to it and pray for young people around the world. It's those last 2 stanzas that get me every time!

"A Voice Calling Out" by Bethany Dillon (Revolutionaries CD)

I hear a voice calling out
I hear a voice in this wilderness
Where darkness has reigned for so long
Ground is being taken

The trumpet sounds
And Your glory touches the ground
And we all stand in awe
Who is this?
This glory far beyond us
I hear a voice

I hear a drum beating
heaven's drawing near
The sky will open
Your people are being healed
I hear a voice

[chorus:]
Heaven's battle cry
Rise
See the sun light what was hidden
Heaven's heart beat
See is moving
What was a whisper is now
A voice calling out

I see a generation rising up
No longer accepting lies
Running to the battlefield
And losing their lives

I see a generation rising up
No longer accepting lies
As a band of worshipers run to the battlefield
They're finding their lives
I hear a voice
