Hillsong Y&F's Alexander Pappas Goes Solo with "A Great Awakening"

World-renowned worship leader and songwriter, Alexander Pappas, releases his first new song in more than 1.5 years. This song, "A Great Awakening," is the first solo worship song Pappas has released after serving as part of Young & Free and Hillsong.
Listen to the song HERE.
"The phrase 'A Great Awakening' carries an unusual resonance, not because it lacks roots in biblical language, but rather due to the powerful connections it evokes," describes Alexander Pappas of this new song. "Initially, your thoughts may drift towards monumental spiritual revivals such as Azusa Street, The Welsh Revival, or the Jesus People Movement. Moments which when I think about them, stir an overwhelming sensation within my spirit that this world we live in is desperate for another move of God. Dare I say, NEEDS it."
Pappas is not new to creating songs that resonate with the worshipper as a two-time GRAMMY® nominee, he has penned anthems like "Alive," "Wake," "Real Love," and "Echo" (Elevation Worship). Leading worship for more than a decade, this song is a return to a passion for the next awakening.
He adds, "While I remain uncertain whether a song-this song, which is a prayer in melody-has the power to ignite such a great awakening, I am firm in the belief that true revival begins individually-with me, with you. I pray that this song sparks within us a profound longing for the next unmistakable move of God."
The release of "A Great Awakening" also coincides with the upcoming movie "Multiplied," appearing in 1300 cinemas across the U.S. on May 20 and 21. A music video for the song will debut before the start of the movie, which will include Pappas in a studio along with revival-style footage weaved throughout.

VERSE 1
I've got faith for revival
All across this land
Like You did in the upper room
Let again Your Spirit loose
VERSE 2
I've got faith to see miracles
Setting captives free
Like You did on Azusa Street
Holy Spirit, move in me
CHORUS
God, we're praying for revival
Like the world has never seen
Where the schemes of hell and darkness
Shall be crushed beneath Your feet
We will see the church advancing
In the cities and the streets
Holy Spirit, bring a great awakening
VERSE 3
I've got faith for salvations
All across this land
Like You've done throughout history
We pray for a great awakening
BRIDGE
Open wide all the heavenly gates
Pour it out, fall upon this place
Father, let Your Kingdom come
And let Your will be done
Holy Spirit, bring a great awakening
ALT CHORUS
Oh we're desperate for You Jesus
So we call upon Your name
Holy Spirit, move in power
Signs and wonders we proclaim
With our faith and expectation
God, we're praying do it again
Holy Spirit, bring a great awakening
