[Verse 1]
Dust in my lungs
Graveyard of dreams in my chest
I walk through a valley of echoes
Every ribcage empty of breath
Questions on skeleton lips
Can these dead things stand again?
I’m staring at piles of my failures
Afraid to say “amen”
[Chorus]
You say
“Live
Live” to the dry bones
Calling me out of the shadows
Word of the Lord
It shakes my soul (shakes my soul)
You say
“Rise
Rise” in the dead zone
Rattle my shame like a cyclone
Spirit of God
Come make me whole
Breathe on these dry bones
[Verse 2]
I’ve tried to rebuild myself
Taped all the fractures in place
But every solution I crafted
Turned into dust in my face
Then You spoke straight into the ruins
Cut through the fear and the static
One simple promise of presence
Turned this tomb to something drastic
[Chorus]
You say
“Live
Live” to the dry bones
Calling me out of the shadows
Word of the Lord
It shakes my soul (hey!)
You say
“Rise
Rise” in the dead zone
Rattle my shame like a cyclone
Spirit of God
Come make me whole
Breathe on these dry bones
[Bridge]
Bone to bone
Heart to throne
You knit my scattered pieces
Back into Your own
Hope in my lungs
Song on my tongue
I was a valley of silence
Now I’m a war drum
[Chorus]
You say
“Live
Live” to the dry bones
Calling me out of the shadows
Word of the Lord
It shakes my soul (shakes my soul)
You say
“Rise
Rise” in the dead zone
Rattle my shame like a cyclone
Spirit of God
Come claim Your own
Breathe on these dry bones (live, live)
