Song # 939 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. From Ezekiel, chapter 37, comes the story of the Spirit of the Lord leading Ezekiel into a valley of dry bones, and bringing them back to life.
Ezekiel says "He asked me 'Son of Man, can these bones live?' " And Ezekiel replied "Oh Sovereign Lord, you alone know" (Ezekiel 37:3). Then Ezekiel was told to say "Prophesy to these bones and say to them 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!' " (Ezekiel 37:4). "This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones, 'I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.' " (Ezekiel 37:5). "I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin, I will put breath in you, and you will come to life, Then you will know that I am the Lord" (Ezekiel 37:6). And as Ezekiel was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone (Ezekiel 37:7). He saw tendons and flesh appear on them and skin cover them, but there was no breath in them (Ezekiel 37:8). Then Ezekiel was told to say "This is what the Sovereign Lord says 'Come from the four winds, oh breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live' " (Ezekiel 37:9). Ezekiel prophesied as commanded by the Lord, and breath entered them, they came to life and stood on their feet -- a vast army (Ezekiel 37:10). Then the Lord said "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone, we are cut off' " (Ezekiel 37:11). "Therefore prophesy and say to them 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says, oh my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them, I will bring you back to the land of Israel' " (Ezekiel 37:12). "I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken" (Ezekiel 37:14).
Thought for today: God is the living word, while the Bible is His written word.
