Hello OxfordDon,
This is all I was able to find. I was unable to find Dottie
Rambo's source for her song however. Perhaps this will help you out.
?One hundred years after the Welsh revival of 1904 the heart-cry of
millions is, "Lord, do it again!"
?The story has often been told of the unforgettable funeral of General
Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. The overflow congregation of
mourners had left London's greatest church for the internment. A
sexton clearing the building found a lone Methodist preacher on his
knees at the altar where the casket had rested. He was sobbing from
the depth of his soul, "Lord, do it again! Lord, do it again!"

?In his teens he was already interested in social reform and longed to
do something to alleviate the sufferings of the poor. He joined a
civic reform movement, but found this full of corruption as well. He
had broken from the Church of England and was now attending Wesley
Chapel of Nottingham. One night at 11 p.m. on a street coming home
from one of the services, he was saved. This was in 1844 when he was
fifteen years of age. A commemorative table marks the spot at the
chapel where Booth began to seek the Lord. Many have knelt near it.
One was heard saying, "O God, do it again..." Soon after Booth's
conversion, James Caughey, a spirit-filled American evangelist,
visited Nottingham and preached the Wesleyan message of sanctification
with great unction and power. This preaching made a great impression
on young Booth and kindled in his own heart a great desire to win
souls for Christ.?

?But a time came when David could no longer simply tell the story
without asking God to do it again! Suddenly it wasn't enough just to
talk about what God had done in the distant past. David wanted to see
God deliver His people now: "We have heard with our ears, O God, our
fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times
of old. How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand... because
thou hadst a favour unto them" (Psalm 44:1-3).?

?And so we come to You. We don?t ask You for help; we beg You for it.
We don?t request it; we implore it. We know what You can do. We?ve
read the accounts. We?ve pondered the stories and now we plead, ?Do it
again, Lord. Do it again.?
Remember Joseph? You rescued him from the pit. You can do the same for
us. Do it again, Lord.
Remember the Hebrews in Egypt? You protected their children from the
angel of death. We have children, too, Lord. Do it again.
And Sarah? Remember her prayers? You heard them. Joshua? Remember his
fears? You inspired him. The women at the tomb? You resurrected their
hope. The doubts of Thomas? You took them away. Do it again, Lord. Do
it again.?
