I see dry bones, You see an army!

I SEE

By Jonathan David Helser & Shane Key

I see a mountain, you see a miracle

I see a wasteland, you see a garden

I see dry bones, you see an army

I see impossible, you see everything

You are, I am, but I’ve been so blind all this time

My God, touch me, I want to see the way that you see

I see a seed, you see a harvest

I see the water, you see the wine

I see the broken, you see the body

I see my enemy, you see your footstool

I see my sin, you see the blood,

I see a baby, you see a saviour,

I see my failure, you see redemption

I see a beggar, you see a son

I see my Father, you see your son

I see my shepherd, you see your lamb

I see my saviour, you see your joy

I see your eyes, staring at mine

Ezek 37:1-11

The Message

God’s Spirit took me up and sat me down in the middle of an open plain strewn with bones. He led me around and among them – a lot of bones! There were bones all over the plain – dry bones bleached by the sun. He said to me, ‘Son of man, can these bones live?’ I said, ‘Master God, only you know that.’ He said to me, ‘Prophesy over these bones: ‘Dry bones, listen to the message of God!’

God, the master, told the dry bones, ‘Watch this: I’m bringing the breath of life to you and you’ll come to life. I’ll attach sinews to you, put meat on your bones, cover you with skin, and breathe life into you. You’ll come alive and you’ll realize that I am God!’

I prophesied just as I’d been commanded. As I prophesied, there was a sound and, oh, rustling! The bones moved and came together, bone to bone. I kept watching. Sinews formed, then muscles on the bones, then skin stretched over them. But they had no breath in them.

He said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath. Prophesy, son of man. Tell the breath, “God, the master, says, Come from the four winds. Come, breath. Breathe on these slain bodies. Breathe life!”

So I prophesied, just as He commanded me. The breath entered them and they came alive! They stood up on their feet, a huge army.‘

MAY WE SEE WHAT GOD SEES!
