we are the dry bones


sitting here in these fields
in our places of comfort
complacent, so full of death
we are the dry bones
lost, a nation, a people

oh breathe on us Lord
give us sinew, new bodies
breathe on our dry bones
quicken our flesh
our bodies, a nation

oh give us life again
Lord come down among us
walk ever closer
guiding our steps, our paths
a nation, a people ready
to bring your kingdom come
