Dry Bones Lyrics

Spoken word has a way of turning ugliness into beauty
It's like the more I mess up, the better my writing
And I guess I'm trying to be the best poet ever

I know this muck I'm in resulted from my own decisions
So why do I feel like I never woulda chose this?
Let me assure you, this was not my plan A
Standing on stages telling rooms full
Of strangers about the billions of ways I've failed
And when it's over they cheer and say
“you did so well”

And it's nice to know other people can
Relate to my flaws
But I pray our aim is greater than
Commiseration
Whether it's my sin or someone else's
There's a difference between being authentic and crass
Courageously truthful and puttin'
People on blast
When the prophet Nathan rebuked King
David it was not to bring him shame
But to bring him to his knees in
Repentance
“I have sinned against God and God
Alone.”

I swear, my sole motivation for
Pointing out the mud on anyone's face is so they can be clean
And the only reason I display the
Skeletons in my closet
Is to show how God makes dry
Bones live again
Blessed is the man whose sins are
Forgiven
If my public disgrace brings freedom to
Your secrets so be it
But don't call yourself speaking the
Truth if all you do is confess
Complain, if your aim is only to get it
All out then you'll finish feeling empty, not relieved
If death is the end there is no beauty
In lament
You're either dead or you're dying stop
Trying to make it pretty with rhymes

Truth, with no hope is no better than
Hope that isn't true
Don't dare you waste my time railing
Against everything we already know is wrong
Neither do I need your optimistic
Naivety
“things are gonna get better, just
Believe in yourself.”
Ill-placed faith in my own strength is
What created this hell in the first place

If we held the cure to our
Disease we wouldn't be sick
We all need something greater to
Believe in
Greater than
Ourselves, greater than our sin
If we don't believe in greater then
We're letting death win

Resurrection, is our only hope
Not merely souls floating through a
Golden city in the sky
But corpses rising from the
Grave
Scattered ashes reconvening into human
Beings and breathing again
Hearts beating again, God
Speaking again, proclaiming it is good, again, and forever

Forever now we live resurrected. Yes we
Live resurrected even before death
Resurrection begins with faith
Believers see new life manifested every day
Every day we are healed from sin's
Death. No longer separated
At peace with God and neighbor and
Enemy and nature
No longer takers we give our
Lives
If we die with Him we will rise with
Our Lord, embrace your crucifixion

Believe, death no longer has dominion
Over Christ
Touch his immortal wounds and
See, death no longer has dominion over us
Death no longer has dominion over
Me!
Pain becomes poetry, ugliness is
Beautiful
The Beautiful One beaten beyond
Recognition
The most grotesque injustice ever
Committed is now our only source of hope
The Word of God said “it is finished”
Fell dead silent
And on the third day, he spoke
