The Bones Remember

A song of resurrection hope rising from spiritual desolation, drawn from Ezekiel's vision of dry bones coming back to life.

Based on Ezekiel 37:4-6 · folk

▶ Listen in English

[Verse 1]

Scattered in the valley, white as winter stone

Every dream I carried, every seed I've sown

The wind has picked them hollow, the sun has bleached them bare

And I have stopped believing that anything grows there


[Pre-Chorus]

But You walk among the wreckage

You kneel down in the dust

You speak to what has perished

Like it still belongs to us


[Chorus]

Breathe, O breath of heaven

Come from the four winds, come

Let the bones remember

What they will become

Sinew, flesh, and spirit

Rising from the ground

What was dead is waking

What was lost is found


[Verse 2]

I have been the valley, I have been the grave

Too dry for resurrection, too far gone to save

But Your voice moves through the silence like a river through the sand

And I feel my ribs assembling underneath Your hand


[Pre-Chorus]

You don't ask if I deserve it

You don't wait for me to stand

You just speak, and I am gathered

Bone to bone and hand to hand


[Chorus]

Breathe, O breath of heaven

Come from the four winds, come

Let the bones remember

What they will become

Sinew, flesh, and spirit

Rising from the ground

What was dead is waking

What was lost is found


[Bridge]

I will live, I will live

Not because I fought my way through

I will rise, I will rise

Only because You told me to


[Outro]

Breathe on me, breathe on me

I will know that You are Lord

Breathe on me, breathe on me

I am Yours, I am Yours

[Verse 1]

Esparcidos en el valle, blancos como piedra invernal

Cada sueño que cargaba, cada semilla al sembrar

El viento los dejó vacíos, el sol los blanqueó sin más

Y dejé de creer que algo pudiera brotar


[Pre-Chorus]

Pero Tú caminas entre ruinas

Te arrodillas en el polvo aquí

Y le hablas a lo que ha muerto

Como si aún fuera de Ti


[Chorus]

Sopla, oh aliento del cielo

Desde los cuatro vientos, ven

Que los huesos recuerden

Lo que van a ser

Nervio, carne y espíritu

Surgiendo del lugar

Lo que estaba muerto despierta

Lo perdido volverá


[Verse 2]

Yo he sido ese valle, yo he sido esa tumba

Muy seco para vida, muy lejos de la ayuda

Pero Tu voz cruza el silencio como río en el desierto

Y siento mis costillas formándose de nuevo


[Pre-Chorus]

No preguntas si merezco

No esperas que me levante

Solo hablas, y me reúnes

Hueso a hueso, adelante


[Chorus]

Sopla, oh aliento del cielo

Desde los cuatro vientos, ven

Que los huesos recuerden

Lo que van a ser

Nervio, carne y espíritu

Surgiendo del lugar

Lo que estaba muerto despierta

Lo perdido volverá


[Bridge]

Viviré, viviré

No porque luché hasta el final

Me alzaré, me alzaré

Solo porque Tú lo ordenarás


[Outro]

Sopla en mí, sopla en mí

Sabré que Tú eres el Señor

Sopla en mí, sopla en mí

Tuyo soy, Tuyo soy
