Dry Bones

I hope all of you readers are having a GREAT day today!  "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us REJOICE and be glad in it!!" For this post, I really encourage you to listen to this song and not just read the lyrics.  It's incredible.  So listen to this song, click the link, reflect on the lyrics and THEN read what I have to say?  :)  If you really want to skip the song you can, but I think you're missing out on something awesome!

Awake My Soul - Chris Tomlin ft. Lecrae

(Click Here to Listen)

Breathe on me, breath of God, breathe on me
Breathe on me, breath of God, breathe on me
I come alive, I’m alive when you breathe on me
I come alive, I’m alive when you breathe on me

Awake, awake, awake my soul,
God resurrect these bones
From death to life, for you alone
Awake my soul

Speak to me, word of God, speak to me
Speak to me, word of God, speak to me
I come alive, I’m alive when you speak to me
I come alive, I’m alive when you speak to me

Awake, awake, awake my soul,
God resurrect these bones
From death to life, for you alone
Awake my soul

 Then He said to me,
“Prophesy to these bones and say to them,
Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones,
I will make breath into you,
And you will come to life.”
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
As I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound,
And the bones came together, bone to bone.
And I looked, and tendons and the flesh appeared on them,
And skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me,
Prophesy to the breath,
Prophesy, son of man, and say to it,
Come from four winds, oh breath, and BREATHE.

Awake, awake, awake my soul,
God resurrect these bones
From death to life, for you alone
Awake my soul

Awake, awake, awake my soul,
God resurrect these bones
From death to life, for you alone
Awake my soul

Yeah, I’m not alone, I realize
I breathe out, I come alive
Your word gives life to my dry bones
Your breath tells death it can ride on
Awake me, make me a living stone,
A testament to your throne, I
I’m nothing without you, I’m on my own
The only one who satisfies my soul

Every single time that I hear this song, I am so incredibly moved by the Holy Spirit.  I choose to listen to it every day as a reminder of who I am and what God has done for me.  His very breath of LIFE lives in me!! What a privilege, what an honor!  This song comes from one of my favorite passages in scripture where the prophet Ezekial is walking through a valley of dry bones.  If you haven't read it, part of it is in the lyrics above!  But the whole story is located in Ezekial 37: 1-14.  

This song honestly brings me to tears whenever I hear it.  Never tears of sadness, but tears of sheer awe and amazement.  Whenever I hear the scripture being read by Lecrae my heart is overwhelmed with such joy and happiness and the reason I wanted you all to listen to it, read it.  When things move me like this, I cannot keep quiet about it!  How amazing is it that we serve a God who is so great and so powerful that he can resurrect broken, dry, and dead bones and bring them to LIFE?! It absolutely blows my mind.  He give us life...he give us breath to breath....Why do I listen to it every day?  Because my prayer every day for myself and everyone is that he will awake MY soul so much that I never become stagnant and dull to His awesome power and glory!

And the BEST part is that with His breath in us, DEATH is defeated and cannot win.  

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

And as my family would say when nothing else can be said about that "#BOOM"
