歌词
[instrumental]
[verse 1]
The stench of death now only, a faded memory.
No bodies in this desolate valley lay.
Just withered bones, strewn out in the desert sun.
Cut off; no hope; just the silence of decay.
[verse 2]
Ezekiel felt God's hand, as it fell upon him.
With this vision of a valley dead and dried.
Around him bones on bones, stretched out for miles.
No life; no breath; just a nation there had died.
[verse 3]
Then God commanded, “Speak, to the bones around you”.
O dry bones hear these words of death's demise.
For breath and life I will pour out, fresh upon you.
New flesh, new skin; here in strength you soon will rise.
[break]
[chorus]
And the dry bones rattle, from the ground they spring.
And the dry bones breathe and the dry bones sing.
Joint to joint they come together.
Bowed before their King.
Oh rise up now a new nation; let His mighty praises ring.
[break]
[verse 4]
The stench of sin in all we had to offer.
No righteousness or strength for us to own.
Our wasted bones spread out, in abandoned graves.
No help; no hope; just the judgement of His throne.
[verse 5]
Our Savior felt God's wrath as it fell upon him.
For the sins of those rebellious and enslaved.
As dead men lost and silent, we desperate lay.
He died; we live; and through Him we are saved.
[powerpop]
[verse 6]
The power of death now faded in glorious victory.
The wonder of His righteousness we claim.
Our shepherd leads us home, to dwell forever.
One King, one hope; for the glory of His name.
[break]
[chorus]
And the dry bones rattle, from the ground they spring.
And the dry bones breathe and the dry bones sing.
Joint to joint they come together.
Bowed be-fore their King.
Oh rise up now a new nation; let His mighty praises ring.
[end]
[chorus]
And the dry bones rattle, from the ground they spring.
And the dry bones breathe and the dry bones sing.
Joint to joint they come together.
Bowed be-fore their King.
Oh rise up now a new nation; let His mighty praises ring.
[end]
