  • Through the eyes of men, it seems there's so much we have lost
    As we look down the road where all the prodigals have walked
    One by one, the enemy has whispered lies
    And led them off as slaves

    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'll step into the valley unafraid, yeah

    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

    God of endless mercy, god of unrelenting love
    Rescue every daughter, bring us back the wayward son
    And by Your spirit, breathe upon them, show the world that You alone can save
    You alone can save

    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

    So breathe, oh, breath of God
    Now breathe, oh, breath of God
    Breathe, oh, breath of God, now breathe

    Breathe, oh, breath of God
    Now breathe, oh, breath of God
    Breathe, oh, breath of God, now breathe

    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

    We call out to dry bones, come alive
    Oh, come alive Writer/s: Lauren Daigle, Michael Farren
