Lyrics
Soul Reviver
Parody of “Sole Survivor” performed by Asia and written by Geoff Downes & John Wetton
(Isaiah 57:15; Psalm 80:18, 85:6)
When I read, I found some help
The wisdom in that Book, I really felt
I was looking; I don't know why
When He looked back, I could have cried
It was the soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver
Voluntary die-er
Then I saw that life was a maze
With Christ's glory lighting the gates
I sought to follow, I sought to join
I'd been in darkness until this point
I met the soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver
Voluntary die-er
And for the remnant Christ will arrive
As the atheists gasp in surprise
See the sky there? Nigh He'll descend
Let's keep on serving right till the end
I'll see the soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver (Reviver)
Soul surpriser
Soul reviver
Soul surpriser (Reviver)
Soul reviver
Soul surpriser
Isaiah 57:15
For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.
