Can Dead Bones Live, Lord?


"When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place." (2Chron. 7:13-15)

I have always loved these verses.  God gave me such a passion and a zeal for the things of God that I wondered at times why he moved me to the Ottawa valley.  I asked God "Why?"

He responded, "You are my catalyst here."   Hmmm, I am not sure if that was a good thing or not. I have ruffled a few feathers, raised a few eyebrows etc., etc.  and generally challenged the status quo over the years.

I was very encouraged when the Lord gave me this song, I even got to sing it at my church (my old church). The only problem was they didn't like it.  Oh well, it's still a good song.  My husband thought it was because they assumed they were the dead bones my song was talking about. In my naivety I never even thought about that possibility.  Oops!

Anyhow, I figured the song out on the keyboard and had some fun with the vocals. Enjoy!
