Dry Bones Live Again: You Still Can | Ezekiel 37 Worship Song
“Dry Bones Live Again: You Still Can” is an English worship song based on Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the valley of dry bones. This song declares that even when life feels dry, silent, and hopeless, God’s word and His Spirit can breathe life again. May it encourage every weary heart to believe that God is still able to restore faith, awaken hope, and bring life to the places that seem impossible.
“Dry Bones Live Again: You Still Can” is an English worship song based on Ezekiel 37 and the vision of the valley of dry bones.
In this powerful passage, God leads the prophet Ezekiel into a valley filled with dry bones. Everything Ezekiel sees appears dry, silent, lifeless, and beyond hope. Yet in that impossible place, God asks, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel answers with humility: “O Lord God, thou knowest.”
As Ezekiel obeys the word of the Lord, the bones begin to come together. Sinews and flesh come upon them, but there is still no breath in them. Then God commands Ezekiel to prophesy to the breath, calling it from the four winds. When the breath enters them, they live again and stand as a mighty army.
This song reminds us that true life does not come from human strength, effort, or outward appearance. It comes from the word of God and the Spirit of God. Many times, we may feel as if we are standing in our own valley of dry bones—tired, discouraged, waiting, and unable to see a way forward. But the God who brought life into dry bones is still able to breathe life into dry and weary hearts today.
May this song become a declaration of faith: even when all we see are dry bones, we still believe—God still can.
Ezekiel 37:1-3
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Ezekiel 37:4-6
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 37:9-10
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel 37:11
Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Ezekiel 37:14
And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
— Based on Ezekiel 37
Verse 1
You led me out into the valley,
Dry bones were lying everywhere.
Long forgotten, dry and broken,
As if all hope had ended there.
You asked me, “Can these bones live again?”
I said, “O Lord, only You know.”
Human eyes can only see the ashes,
But in Your heart, life already grows.
Pre-Chorus
You taught me not to judge by what I see,
But to hear Your voice,
And speak Your word in faith.
Verse 2
So I spoke just as You commanded,
In the silence, suddenly a sound.
Bone to bone began to come together,
Strength and form were rising from the ground.
But still there was no breath within them,
They had bodies, but no life inside.
Then You told me, “Call upon the breath now,
From the four winds, come and make them rise.”
Pre-Chorus 2
Then the breath came in,
And they came alive.
One by one, they stood again,
A mighty army in Your sight.
Chorus
When we say there is no more hope,
You still can make dry bones live again.
When we say it is far too late,
Your power has no end.
Breath of God, come from the four winds,
Breathe into every weary soul.
It is not our strength that brings us life,
It is Your word, it is Your Spirit.
You restore the faith we lost,
You awaken holy hunger again.
Though we cannot see a way,
Still we believe,
You still can, You still can.
Verse 3
Today we may be standing
In a desert with no hope in sight.
Years of prayer, still nothing changing,
Waiting long through the weary night.
Breathe Your breath of life within us,
Teach us silence is not the end.
Make the barren places bloom again,
Let the dead places hope again.
Bridge
Breathe into my dry and weary heart,
Restore the faith I thought was gone.
Breathe into my tired spirit,
Wake in me a deeper love.
Blow away the voice of despair,
Give me strength to walk again.
Your word is full of power,
Your Spirit still is moving.
I will not judge by what I see,
I will not let this storm define my faith.
Even when the valley is full of bones,
Lord, I will listen for Your voice.
Final Chorus
When we say there is no more hope,
You still can make dry bones live again.
When we say it is far too late,
Your power has no end.
Breath of God, come from the four winds,
Breathe into every weary soul.
It is not our strength that brings us life,
It is Your word, it is Your Spirit.
Come restore our faith again,
Come awaken holy hunger again.
Though we still cannot see a way,
Still we believe,
You can make the dry bones live,
You can make the desert bloom.
You can bring hope to the silent place,
You will breathe life again.
Still we believe,
Still we believe,
You still can, You still can.
Outro
Even when all we see are dry bones,
Still we believe—
You still can,
You still can…
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us through Ezekiel 37 that You are the God who brings life to dry bones. When human eyes see only silence, weakness, and hopelessness, Your word still has power. When everything seems too late, Your Spirit is still able to breathe life again.
Lord, many times we stand in places that feel like a valley of dry bones. We see unanswered prayers, long seasons of waiting, tired hearts, broken hopes, and situations that seem impossible to restore. Forgive us for judging too quickly by what we see. Teach us to listen again for Your voice and to trust that You are still working, even when we cannot yet see the change.
Breathe Your Spirit into every dry and weary place within us. Restore the faith we have lost. Awaken holy hunger in our hearts again. Blow away the voice of despair, and give us strength to keep walking the road You have set before us. Let Your word become life in us, and let Your Spirit renew what has grown tired, cold, or silent.
We also pray for those around us who feel hopeless today. Remember those who are weary in sickness, discouraged in family struggles, tired in their work, burdened in ministry, or afraid of the future. May Your word reach them. May Your Spirit comfort them. May they know that the valley is not the end, and dry bones are not beyond Your power.
Move in this generation, Lord. In places filled with brokenness, fear, war, spiritual dryness, and despair, breathe again. Awaken Your church, restore faith, and let many hearts hear the hope of the gospel. May dry bones live again, and may Your name be glorified.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
