Army on its Knees

I stand in a war-torn valley
—before my eyes I see bones
Bones that are very dry
Can these bones live?
Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones:
I will make breath enter you,
and you will come to life
I will attach tendons to you
and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin;
I will put breath in you,
and you will come to life!
A rattling sound echos forth
the bones come together, bone to bone
the tendons and flesh appear on them and skin covers them
—but there is no breath!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breath into the slain, that they may live!
Immediately before my eyes breath enters the slain!
They come to life and stand up on their feet
—a vast army!
Oh army, hear the word of the Lord Almighty:
Not by might nor by power,
but by my Spirit
Oh army, hear the word of the Lord Almighty:
The Lord will fight for you;
you need only to be still
Oh army, hear the word of the Lord Almighty:
They will fight against you but will not overcome you,
for I am with you to rescue and save you
Oh army, hear the word of the Lord Almighty:
For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you
to fight for you against your enemies
—to give you victory!
Oh army, heed to wisdom of the wise:
It was not by their sword that they won the land,
nor did their arm bring them victory;
it was Your right hand, Your arm
Oh army, heed the wisdom of the wise:
Through You we push back our enemies;
through Your name we trample our foes
I put no trust in my bow,
my sword does not bring me victory;
but You give us victory over our enemies,
You put our adversaries to shame
Oh army move forth
—move forth army on your knees
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 I will hear from heaven,
and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land
Oh army humble yourself
Lament and mourn
Pray and seek His face
His power is made perfect in weakness
He crowns the humble with victory
He is the vine
—you are the branches
apart from Him you can do nothing!
Humble yourself, oh army, humble yourself!
—move forth army on your knees
Oh army move forth
—move forth army on your knees!
