Somebody sent me the lyrics. I understand that Franke had attended an Episcopalian seminary, but this is the first overtly religious song from Bob Franke that I've seen. His songs often have religious undertones, as in "The Great Storm Is Over."

STIR UP YOUR POWER
(Bob Franke)

The world may no longer stand.
The heart is a desert land,
With horror on every hand,
While the hope of the poor fades away.

Our words have an empty ring
They don't seem to mean a thing,
With voices too scared to sing
As the night consumes the day

Stir up Your power, O Lord.
Here in this hour, O Lord.
Stir up Your power, O Lord.
Let Your living waters roll.

Lord, may Your will be done.
Lord, may Your kingdom come.
Stir up Your power, O Lord.
And restore our weary souls.

We stumble from year to year
Our minds overcome with fear,
With ears that no longer hear,
And with eyes like polished stone.

The earth groans beneath our need
Poisoned by human greed
With too many mouths to feed
That are doomed to die alone.

Stir up Your power, O Lord.
Here in this hour, O Lord.
Stir up Your power, O Lord.
Let Your living waters roll.

Lord, may Your will be done.
Lord, may Your kingdom come.
Stir up Your power, O Lord.
And restore our weary souls.
