Lyrics:
Let us climb this hill
Let us climb this hill in the footsteps of Patrick
Let us fall to our knees and worship with Your angels
Let us call out to You and declare Your holy word
Let us prophesy in every direction
That the ancient wells will be opened again
That Your river will flow and this land will be cleansed
That Your kingdom will come, we'll have heaven on earth
And revival will fall, and we'll witness Your glory in this land
Let us take to the streets in the footsteps of those
Who surrendered their hearts to the High King of heaven
Let us reach out our hands to the sick and the needing
Let us carry your Glory in every direction
chorus
Let us drive out the snakes that have crossed our borders
They have hidden in the shadows but the darkness is retreating
Let us climb the high places declaring Your kingdom
Close the gates to the devil in every direction
chorus
Rain has fallen on the land,
Frozen deep within the ground,
Life has gone, the colour fades,
Heaven waits to hear the sound,
Worship rises like a song,
Life returns, the colour shows,
Rocks and concrete break apart,
Wells are opened and the water flows.
NB: The Ancient Wells in this context refer to places and peoples that were once known for their extraordinary sense of God's presence as demonstrated through incredible miracles, healings and selfless outpourings of love. Places where the veil between the earthly and heavenly realms seemed to be particularly 'thin'. Iona in the time of Columba was one such place. Azusa Street in Los Angeles in the early 20th century another. Many recent prophecies have suggested that over the years these many 'wells' have become blocked by tradition, religiosity and self, but that once again the fresh, pure water of God is starting to flow out to thirsty and dry lands.
