The Dry Bones of America
Welcome to the land of liberty
Divided land of hostility
Freedom fades which seems strange
Land of liberty begins to change
Former dreams pass in the nightÂ
Of America the beacon light
Echoes ring of the voices past
How long will America last?
Knowing now, knowing then
Knowing God calls once againÂ
For America through all the years
Weep my friend with your tearsÂ
History tells of that great light
America had once shown so brightÂ
Foolishly lost, spiritually poor
Imploring God to move once moreÂ
Politicians have their plans
Voices of fools, voices of man
They take our freedom, can't you tell?
Pushing forth agendas of hell
Turning back on God's commands
Yet God still extends His hands
Soon will come trials, the land will shake
But through it all people will awake
The bald eagle, the emblem of our nation
Now with broken wings of isolation
Remember in the ashes and in the smoke
Dry bones lived when God spoke
No more will they keep us down
God comes to shake this ground
In the darkness a rattling begins
See a godly remnant rises againÂ
