Can These Bones Live?

Lyrics

Title: Can These Bones Live?
Scripture: Ezekiel 37:3–5

[Intro – Spoken]
“Son of man, can these bones live?”
Lord, You see what we don’t see.

[Verse 1 – Solo]
Walkin’ through school like a hallway ghost,
Whole lotta followers, but I feel alone the most.
Dreams dried up, heart turned stone,
I’m in a crowd, but I still feel alone.
Family fightin’, rent past due,
I’m tryna pray, but I don’t push through.
If my life is a valley where hope don’t give,
I hear You whisper, “Can these bones live?”

[Pre-Chorus – Choir Soft]
I said, “Lord, You know, I don’t.
I can’t see life where I won’t.”
Then You told me what to do:
“Speak My word till it shifts in you.”

[Chorus – Youth Choir]
O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord,
Every dead dream, every shut-down heart.
He said, “Behold, I’ll cause breath in you,
You shall live, watch what My word do.”
From numb to alive by the power He gives,
He spoke once, now these bones can live.

[Verse 2 – Solo + Choir Echo]
I was scared to hope, scared to believe, (to believe)
‘Cause every time I did, I felt deceived. (felt deceived)
But He said, “Prophesy, don’t run from the pain,
Talk to your own bones, call life by My name.”
So I spoke to my fear, spoke to my shame,
Spoke to my past in the Father’s name.
And right where I stood in that quiet room,
I felt His breath start to break that tomb.

[Hook – Call & Response]
Leader: To the ones who cut just to feel alive,
Choir: Hear the word of the Lord.
Leader: To the ones who drink just to numb the mind,
Choir: Hear the word of the Lord.
Leader: To every dry heart that don’t wanna forgive,
Choir: He will cause breath in you and you shall live.

[Bridge – Build]
Can these bones live?
Choir: Yes, Lord, yes!
Can this heart rise up?
Choir: Yes, Lord, yes!
When His word goes forth,
Choir: Dry bones gotta move.
When His breath comes in,
Choir: New life, new you.

[Vamp – Drive]
Choir: Live, live, live, hear His word and live,
Leader: Breath of God, come fill these kids.
Choir: Live, live, live, we refuse to die,
Leader: Valley of bones ’bout to testify.

[Tag – Unison]
From the question in the valley to the answer He gives,
He spoke one promise: “I’ll make you live.”
