“Seven Words: Simple, Powerful, Renewing Words in Grace Alone”
Come Alive (Dry Bones)
Daigle
vs. 1
Through the eyes of man it seems there’s so much we have lost
As we look down the road where all the prodigals have walked
And one by one the enemy
Has whispered lies and led them off as slaves
vs. 2
But we know that You are God Yours is the victory
We know there is more to come that we may not yet see
So with the faith You’ve given us we step into the valley unafraid
refrain:
As we call out to dry bones Come alive come alive
We call out to dead hearts Come alive come alive
Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise
We call out to dry bones Come alive
vs. 3
God of endless mercy God of unrelenting love
Rescue ev’ry daughter bring us back the wayward sons
And by Your spirit breathe upon them
Show the world that You alone can save
You alone can save
(refrain)

(So) breathe oh breath of God now breathe oh breath of God
Breathe oh breath of God now breathe (repeat bridge then refrain)
ending:
We call out to dry bones Come alive
“Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and you will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.””
"I just can't do it anymore." "I don't know how I'm going to make it." "I'm running out of energy."
We all have had moments in our life when we felt this way before, or spoke words like these before, moments that can leave us feeling exhausted, searching, anxious, broken, empty, dried up.
Thanks be to God the Spirit is here, right now, here in every place, with you, and with your loved ones! How does the Spirit quench your thirst, and help you through? What needs connecting in your life? What would add purpose for you? What would quench your thirst to connect you to The Lord, to the One who breathes life into you?
What is thirsty for breath in your life? What would quench your thirst, fill your spirit Do you hear the Lord calling out to you? Do you hear him prophesying to your spirit, to come alive?
Trust and believe anew the Spirit that never dries up, the Spirit that fills your breath, the Spirit giving your life a new breath, is the very breath of God, and you are, alive!
Let us pray: Lord, I have much in my life that is drying up. I think I will find life and breath in other places. I long for life anew in you alone. Breathe on me breath of God. Connect me, to you, in a new way. Prophesy to my dry bones, to my Spirit. I trust and believe anew, I give you all my thanks and praise; I am so alive, in you alone, as I pray. Amen.
