Fire in our hearts - Jesus Army

FIRE IN OUR HEARTS
COMMUNICATE!
The time has come to favour Zion,
The King of glory is marching in this land!
Oh, a mighty Jesus revolution
Is advancing! The kingdom is at hand!
One person was guaranteed to be ecstatic about all this, as

Yesterday Huw and I bumped into an inspired Rufus on the blackcurrant

sacrifice among the youth.
‘Ah bro’, he said, ‘people are desperate for Jesus. They’ve
tried everything. They know it’s all a rip off. It never produced
the goods. Now’s the time for Jesus. They’re talking about him.
They’re singing about him. They’re writing about him. The very
earth is crying out for him. Can’t you feel it? It’s had enough of
new-agers and priests and pagans. The very soil of Britain is
thirsty for God!’

in Trafalgar Square. With the foot of Nelson’s column adorned
by a Revolution Flame banner and the band belting it out
