Nehemiah

Nehemiah heard a call in his soul so deep
Jerusalem in ruins left him struggling to sleep 
The walls had fallen the gates burned to ash
In a foreign kings court he prayed for a path
He faced the doubters who laughed in his face
But truth don't falter when it's grounded in grace
Enemies schemed tried to break his flow
With a sword on his hip he said let's go
Through the dust and the grime they worked untamed
Each stone a promise this city renamed 
No fear of the dark no fear of the fight
In the face of the storm they reclaimed the light
A leader of action with a heart of gold 
Nehemiah stood firm and his story is told
To rebuild to renew that's the faithful stance
Nehemiah’s mission to restore the land
Brick by brick he built the dream
A city reborn like a flowing stream 
Faith and courage the tools in hand 
Nehemiah's mission to restore the land 
Brick by brick we stack the dreams
In the face of the world's harshest schemes
Nehemiah had the vision tight
Building hope from morning till night
From the palace to the streets so cold
A cupbearer turned leader bold
Enemies laughed but their words fell flat
We shut them out there's no time for that 
The people united a nation's cry
We won't let these dream lay down and die
Swords in one hand a trowel in the other
Working side by side sister and brother 
Raise the walls up high rise and rebuild 
With every stone set the prophecy fulfilled 
Through trials and shadows we hold our ground 
Nehemiah's story where strength is found
