Rise Again


A new heart 

A new mind 

Freshness in You 

New life breathed in 

to dry bones...

Quaking, shaking

We are awakening 

Breathing, trembling

Hearts are softening 

To Your touch

Revive what is dead within me 

Renew what must be restored 

Open what is closed to Your voice 

Melt this heart of stone

Back into a heart of flesh 

Transform this shriveled body by Your spoken Word 

Give life by Your breath 

For resurrection is accomplished only through You

When You died, my old life was buried

When You rise 

Completion comes

I'm running out of this tomb where I was never meant to stay 

I'm coming out to live in Your presence 

The Breath of Life isn't once

It's ever-flowing from Your life 

We are rising again with You
