The breath of God
Blowing across a parched and weary land
Bones lie dry in the desert sand
Hope is a distant memory where nothing is alive
The bones lie dry in the desert sand
Unable now to even try
They lie long past the spark of life
But something stirs the barren trees
Something changes the flow of dead seas
A voice calls in the wilderness,
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord!”
A wind stirs the bones where they lie
Rain comes down, holy tears being cried
Angels wait in heaven’s skies
For the moment they can celebrate new life
And then heaven’s Creator breathes
Barren trees grow fruit and leaves
And abundant life fills once-dead seas
And new life fills once-dead lands
The bones stir in the desert sands
Stronger now comes the breath of God
A whisper of the power He holds in one hand
Stronger now the breath of God blows across the land
And thunder ripples from the skies
“Dry bones have life!”
Together now, the bones they come
Given new life by the death of the Son
Muscle and flesh cover them now
They rise and stand, to God they bow
An army now stands
Where once dry bones lay in desert sands.
