Life Restored

Sinew and flesh
the breath coming
dry bones alive
life fully restored
redeemed wholly by God

God’s power eternal
his grace unending
he can grant us life
though we were dead in our sin
like dry bones in the desert

Mindful of Our Sin

We will remember ever
we will ever remain mindful
of our sins forgiven
in what was washed away

God’s cleansing waters
our new hearts beating
changing our lives utterly
to be conformed to him

The bounty of his love
his grace overflowing
mindful of our clay
that we need his saving

Not by our works
because we have earned this
his choice to heal
while we are yet in sin

Hearts of Flesh

As the shepherd of the people
as a good neighbor to our brothers
so God can change us
if we turn to him

Away from the world
which turned our hearts to stone
returning to God
for hearts of flesh alone

Mercy and justice
for our fellow man
humbly before God
his eternal sovereignty

Lost sheep returning
into his fold
new spirits within us
carrying his love
to the ends of the earth
