[Chorus]
My soul cries out
My soul cries out for you
These bones cry out
These dry bones cry for you
To live and move
'Cause only You can raise the dead
Can lift my head up
My soul cries out
My soul cries out for you
Jesus, You're the one who saves us
Constantly creates us into something new
Jesus, surely you will finds us
Surely our Messiah will make all things new
Will make all things new
My soul cries out
My soul cries out for you
These bones cry out
These dry bones cry for you
To live and move
'Cause only You can raise the dead
Can lift my head up
Jesus, You're the one who saves us
Constantly creates us into something new
Jesus, surely you will finds us
Surely our Messiah will make all things new
Will make all things new
[Verse 1]
Life is breaking out, it's breaking out
Life is breaking out, it's breaking out, it's breaking out
And life is breaking out, it's breaking out, it's breaking out
[Chorus]
Jesus, You're the one who saves us
Constantly creates us into something new
Jesus, surely you will finds us
Surely our Messiah will make all things new
Will make all things new
Dry Bones
Song Meaning
Gungor pulls "Dry Bones" almost entirely from Ezekiel's vision, but narrows the focus from a whole valley of bones to a single, personal cry — "my soul cries out, my soul cries out for you... these dry bones cry for you to live and move." The scale shrinks from a national vision of restoration to one person's specific need for the same kind of resurrection.
"Cause only You can raise the dead, can lift my head up" keeps the request honest about its own impossibility by ordinary means — this isn't asking for improvement, it's asking for something closer to resurrection. "Constantly creates us into something new" turns Ezekiel's one-time vision into an ongoing, repeated pattern rather than a single historical event.
The repeated "life is breaking out, it's breaking out" shifts the song's tense from request to observation by the end, treating the very thing being asked for as already, currently happening rather than merely hoped for.
