Full Lyrics:
Dry Bones
my soul cries out
my soul cries out for you
these bones cry out
these dry bones cry for you
to live and move
only You
can raise the dead
lift my head up
Jesus, You’re the one who saves us
Constantly creates us into something new
Jesus You’re the one who finds us
Surely our Messiah will make all things new

[...] God’s people, Israel, had left God. Earlier in the book we are told that God moved from one place to the next within the temple, basically begging His people to invite His presence back into their lives…but they wouldn’t. His people became dead, they had failed to hold up their end of the covenant God had made with them. They were dry bones resting in the bottom of the valley. I’m reminded by this song that we were all dry bones at one time, and that it is only because of God’s call on our life and our identification with Christ that we have been given flesh and breathe again. The presence of God now dwells within us. The lyrics and some artwork to this song can be found here: DRY BONES – ART/LYRICS [...]
The live version has this last bit at the end.. i’m not sure what language its sung in, hebrew perhaps? there’s something very raw and alive about singing in the language “our father who art in heaven…”
