Revival: The Tongue Loosed – “And the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. ” Mark 7:35  Being revived in soul, spirit, and mind has a way of loosing our tongues in a holy manner. Consider this prayer:

Loose thou my tongue, so silent have I been, Lord,
In telling others of Thy love divine;
Loose thou my tongue, and use it for Thy glory,
That straying lambs, back to Thy fold may come.
Loose thou my tongue, that Thou canst always help me.
To strengthen those by storm and tempest tossed;
Loose thou my tongue, to guide the sad and lonely,
To find in Thee, their refuge and their rock.
Loose thou my tongue, for Thee, O blessed Master,
That I may speak Thy words of truth divine;
Loose thou my tongue, that I may tell the story,
Of all the wondrous things that Thou hast done.
Loose thou my tongue, baptize with love and fire, Lord,
To teach Thy Cross and resurrection power;
Loose thou my tongue, and fill me with Thy fullness,
Till others, too, shall crown Thee Lord of all.

This prayer, if prayed from clean hearts and lives submissive to God’s will, would put tongues of fire where there are now tongues draped in icicles. Our revived tongues of fire would melt the frozen foundations of testimony and start refreshing streams in dry gardens. Our revived tongues would give us the plain language of truth where there is now evasive stammering or slowness of speech.
