Analysis of Speak
You have spoken with me in secret.
You will be quiet no more.
My children will hear my roar.
My children speak boldly.
Stand up in the heat of battle.
I am building my house.
I am building this nation.
Confess my name.
Revival is here.
The Holy Spirit will hit.
I am raising up my Elijah’s.
Turn back to your father.
The trumpet will blow from your lips.
My church is coming home.
Glory is bliss.
