Where you see bones
I can see the army
Where you see floods
I can see the shore
Where you see dry winds blow
I see the new life grow
Where you see the clouds in your way
It is the Lord
When the ones you love and trust
Hurt and destroy you
Though you may be discouraged
Certainly don’t think of giving up
When you are broken
When you are wounded
Forgive those who persecute you
For it’s alright to be broken
And it is no shame to cry
But I do not want you to remain
In that place of brokenness
Even though I am in that place with you
Still I do not want you to stay there
Like I delivered Moses
Out from the desert place
So I will lead you through
You will see a fire in the night
And a pillar of cloud in the day
And I will go before you
And if you can forgive
Then when your soul is really mended
You will see there is gold pure gold
Real gold of great worth in your life
But I do not want you to remain
In that place of brokenness
Even though I am in that place with you
Still I do not want you to remain there
No no no no
I do not want you to remain
In the land of your affliction
No no no
I do not want you to stay there
In the land of your broken dreams
For you see for you see
Where you see bones
I can see the army
Where you see floods
I can see the shore
Where you see desert winds blow
I feel the new life grow
Where you see the clouds in your way
It is the Lord
