Prophesy come to life oh my soul sing
Through the night lift your eyes
Oh my soul cry out cry out
Living King live in me let my heart know
Rushing wind move within
Speak to these dry bones dry bones
Oh Lord speak into the silence
Breathe upon the lifeless
Wake us up from slumber
Oh Lord move in by Your Spirit
Your life living in us
Take us back to wonder
(Take us back to wonder)
By Your hand I will stand filled with glory
Hold Your Word on the earth
All to show Your life revealed
Dry bones dance
Dry bones sing
Dry bones stand up and get up and live
Dry bones run
Dry bones rise
Dry bones stand up and come back to life
Take us back to wonder

Song Meaning
“Dry Bones Dance” presents God as the One who brings life into places that appear hopeless. The dry bones picture spiritual exhaustion, but the song answers it with prayer for God’s Spirit to breathe, awaken, and restore.
Biblical Message
The central image comes from Ezekiel 37:1–14, where God commands dry bones to hear His word and live. The rushing wind also recalls Acts 2:1–4. Together, these passages show that renewal is not produced by human strength; it comes through God’s word and Spirit.
Reflection
Some seasons leave faith feeling dry and motionless. This song reminds us that dryness is not the end of the story. God can speak into silence, restore wonder, and help weary people stand again.
