Prophets All

He stood among them Wind in his beard About him they lay As far as the eye could see Men they once were Fallen now in the dust Lifeless white frameworks Remainders of beings once living "You know, Lord" the prophet spake Then it came The breath of the Father The Word of the Eternal One Rang out in the silence The vessel opened his mouth And Life sprang forth Rattling, trembling The bones stood up Then flesh, then skin Then... The same power that made them Breath, Life, Spirit A mighty army We are that army It's in us, this breath "The word is near you Even in your mouth" Life is in us Words to create The Word of Life Life and Light Help me create Me, a son of God Help me create for others Let me create for you We're all to be Ezekiels We're all to be the Father's voice Come let's sing creation's song That the dry bones come to life And all around us Creation be freed from the curse Stephen Pursell, 10/13/02
