VALLEY OF THE DRY BONES

Ezekiel was in the valley all the Lord's days,
God told Ezekiel to prophesize
now "Hear ye the word of the Lord."


He told Ezekiel as the son of man to preach the Gospel to the sinful man.
The people of Israel, they got so wicked my God stops I'll call Ezekiel,
Said "Hey Ezekiel come prophesize. The wicked man was born to die."

ezekiel went down into israel land
to prech the gospel to the sinful man.
people of isreal they would not hear,
so my god said, "the time is near"

I gonna make me a city in my own way
for a nation of people that will obey.

So God he came in the middle of the night
Destroyed that city with all his might
He put Ezekiel in the valley prophesize,
said "Hear ye the word of the Lord."

Now the toe and the foot bone,
join together
The foot and the ankle bone
join together
ankle and leg
join together
leg and knee
join together
knee and thigh
join together
thigh and hip
. . .

Ezekiel in the valley
of the dry bones
repeat

Now ezekiel he raised up his head
found that he was lyin'
amoung the dead
Well God said Ezekiel, can these bones live?
Ezekiel said God if it is I will

Well Ezekiel he began to prophesize
and them dry bones began to rise
He prophesized high up to the wind
put breath in the bones that they might live

Then them bones began to walk
They stood on the ground, began to tal
Ezekiel said to these dry bones,
"won't you hear ye the word of the Lord!"

Ezekiel in the valley of the dry bones
repeat
repeat

Hear the word of the Lord.
