Revolution Cry
"In a time of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell
When we were in Romania, the pastor's wife, Rodica, took us on a tour of Timisoara and told us the Revolution Story and her part in it. We stood on the street corner where a man of God refused to denounce his faith and where a crowd of people refused to step aside and ignore the fact that he was being taken Away. A revolution was sparked. It was 1989 and there was no color in Romania; no smiles; no light. Gelu told us that they had a terrible time trying to hide American Christians who came to Romania to witness during Communism, because they SMILED too much. "You could just spot them," he said.
The Revolution Cry swelled in Timisoara during that week in December, and when we stood on the steps of the Metropolitan Cathedral and looked into the now-named Victory Square, it was hard to imagine the entire square filled with people who refused to move. People who refused to step back into their homes and close their doors to freedom. In her quiet manner, Rodica told us of being jammed in with thousands of other Romanians when they heard a woman whisper, "We should shout that there is God." Rodica said she and Gelu looked at each other, silently agreeing to verbally, publicly pronounce the thing they knew to be Truth, and then they said it, shouted it, "there is GOD" and the cry captured the crowd and thousands of Romanians publicly and verbally put words to the Truth in their hearts.
No dictator could crush the Glory of God. No human man ever could or ever will. Seventeen years ago a bloody square was washed white with snow the very day a dictator was put to death for crimes against his people. Every day someone stands up and speaks Truth. The only question that remains is, Will you listen?
"Feel it rising up
Cry of Revolution
Feel it rising up
Feel it rising up
The glory of the Lord
Feel it rising up
Cry of Revolution
As we lift high the name
Every Revolution needs a Revolutionary and His name is Jesus"
