(Mark Hall, Jason Hoard)
Ezekiel stared down into the valley
Filled with dry bones baking in the sun
Remains that used to be a mighty army
To him, it looked like their fighting days were done
But driven by a calling on his life
He spoke God’s words, the bones began to shake
He stared wide-eyed as the flesh began to form
And as he prophesied to the wind
The soldiers began to wake
And the Lord sent His wind into the valley
And breathed the breath of life into their souls
And raised them again a mighty army
For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
For they have been filled with the Spirit Wind
Woah...
A pastor stands before his congregation
Once a mighty army for the Lord
But now he stares into the lifeless eyes
Believers leading carnal lives
He wonders what they’re fighting for
But driven by a calling on his life
He spoke God’s word like he’d done a hundred times before
But this time he comes broken and weeping
With tears of a broken heart
And he cries out to the Lord
Oh Lord, send Your wind into this valley
And breathe the breath of life into their souls
And raise them again a mighty army
For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
For they have been filled with the Spirit Wind
Woah...
Holy Spirit, breathe on me
Breathe Your life in me
Oh Lord, send Your wind into this valley
And breathe the breath of life into our souls
And raise us again a mighty army
For soon these arisen warriors will battle again
For we have been filled with the Spirit Wind
Woah...
Oh Lord, we need You now
Breathe Your life into us
Lord, we need You now
Our churches and our families
Oh Lord, we need You now
Breathe life into this dry and weary land
Raise us up again

It is awesome! .. We really need The Holy Spirit in our lives, we need not just to know about Him, we need to live Him! Embrace Him! If the Lord does not build the house ,it is useless for the builders to work on it. The Holy Spirit must lead us, not our heart our wisdom, is His Holy Spirit. Awesome song! =) Congrats!
We saw you this month in Roseville, Ca. You and the Holly SPirit moved us! Thank you Jesus and the Casting Crowns. What was the artists name that drew Jesus? May you be blessed always with the Spirit Winds!

I love this song! You guys did an awesome job!
Having a "Wow God" moment tonight! Just got home from my Parish Penance Service and the reading tonight was this story from Ezekiel! I have not heard this particular story before the wonderful concert Thursday night. This song was very moving 3 nights ago and now tonight to hear the reading itself at church... WOW! Keep up the wonderful work Crowns! Love your music and your way of putting God's word into great music!
I am not going to say much but just that your music has been blessing in my life. I wish I could say it in person, written words fail me... God bless you guys and I pray that the Lord continues to use you more and enlarge your territories! BTW, i am in Africa :D
