About “God of Revival - Live”
Brian Johnson and Phil Wickham wrote the song as a charge to pursue personal revival while calling families, cities and nations to awaken to what Bethel described as the God of the impossible. Johnson has framed revival not as an event but as a state of the heart that is awakened to who God is and His kingdom. The live version was recorded at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and released in February 2020 as the lead single from Revival's in the Air, with Brian and Jenn Johnson leading.
