about

This song is from Ezekial's vision in Ezekial 37:1-14; 36:26, 27. In the vision, God takes Ezekial to a valley full of dry, bleached bones. They are dead, dead, dead and then God brings them new muscle, sinews, flesh, and then finally the breath of life.

This is a recreation. Bringing something long dead back to full life. Although this passage originally refers to God restoring Israel, a "dead" nation, it also prefigures Jesus' resurrection and God's power to recreate us when we are dead in sin and dead to God (Romans 8:10-11).

lyrics

Dry bones
Hearts of stone
Slain and left
In the valley of death

Been dead so long
All the flesh is gone
A mass grave
No one can raise

But you said “live”
And the ground starts to give
And the bones start to rattle
And the darkness lifts

You gave them blood and bone and
Hearts of stone to flesh
You gave them muscle, skin, and
Life within the breath

Open graves
Bodies raised
The living breath
Reversing death

From Ezekial’s vision in Ezekial 37:1-14; 36:26,27
