Revival washes over us when, as believers, we experience a renewed and refreshing work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, and gain a greater awareness of our need for Christ. The songs compiled here remind us of our daily need for confession and repentance as we seek revival in our hearts. More than just chord sheets, vocal arrangements, or multitracks, these songs usher in an atmosphere of praise for worship teams to help engage congregations of all sizes.

As we read through the founding of the church and disciples' ministries on earth, we can see that times were hard. Facing persecution, ridicule, and even death, the disciples cling to the hope of Jesus and his return to help them overcome these difficult times. We can also have this hope through our difficulties. Jesus gives his Holy Spirit to those who believe and follow him. We can have strength to overcome trials knowing that God is with us. We also know that one day Jesus will return and those who follow him will be united with him. These songs and hymns show how we can persevere in difficulty by focusing on the hope we have in Jesus and that one day he will return.
