full of bones – v3

God led me to the mountain
to look down on the valley
the land below
to see what He would show me

as far as my eyes could see
the remains of our people
just dry bones
filling the valley

full of bones
too many to number
the bones of the people
the chosen of God

too many had fallen
a valley of dry bones
those lost over the ages
the people of God
