Can These Bones Live?
A lament of the bankrupt soul Breathe on me now Lord please renew my soul Like you rose Lazarus from the grave Display your power on me afresh for my inner man is a corpse Dead man walking due to countless sins I see but I’m blind, I hear but I’m deaf Quicken me now give me a new heart for the one that beats now is calcified Compel me to seek your way to delight in your laws Shower me with your grace Can these bones live oh Lord you know Naturally living yet spiritually dead My depravity is perfect as the Canaanite of old Be pleased to save a wretch like me Can these bones live the wind of your Spirit must hasten My transgressions necessitate your power For I was in born in sin shapen in iniquity I’m stillborn in spirit All things are possible with the great I AM You produce mighty works in me My being is alive I’m among the elect What you’ve begun you’ll complete in me They laugh at my affliction hopeless to save they say A fool petitions a God he can’t see
