  • Ezekiel stared down into the valley
    Filled with dry bones baking in the sun
    Remains that used to be a mighty army
    To him it looked like their fighting days were done

    But driven by a calling on his life
    He spoke Gods words the bones began to shake
    He stared wide-eyed as the flesh began to form
    And as he prophesied to the wind
    The soldiers began to wake

    And the Lord sent His wind into the valley
    And breathed the breath of life into their souls
    And raised them again a mighty army
    For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
    For they have been filled with the Spirit Wind
    Whoa whoa whoa

    A pastor stands before his congregation
    Once a mighty army for the Lord
    But now he stares into the lifeless eyes
    Believers leading carnal lives
    He wonders what they're fighting for
    But driven by a calling on his life
    He spoke Gods word like had done a hundred times before
    But this time he comes broken and weeping
    With tears of a broken heart
    And he cries out to the Lord

    Oh Lord send Your wind into this valley
    And breathe the breath of life into their souls
    And raise them again a mighty army
    For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
    For they have been filled with the Spirit Wind
    Whoa whoa whoa

    Holy Spirit breathe on me
    Breathe Your life in me

    Holy Spirit breathe on me
    Breathe Your life in me

    Holy Spirit breathe on me
    Breathe Your life in me

    Holy Spirit breathe on me
    Breathe Your life in me

    Oh Lord send Your wind into this valley
    And breathe the breath of life into our souls
    And raise us again a mighty army
    For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
    For we have been filled with the Spirit Wind
    Whoa whoa whoa

    Oh Lord we need You now
    Breathe Your life into us
    Lord we need You now
    Our churches and our families
    Oh Lord we need You now
    Breathe life into this dry and weary land
    Raise us up again Writer/s: JASON HOARD, JOHN MARK HALL
