Verse 1
I've been walking with a brave face, while my hope runs thin.
Saying all the right things, but I'm empty within.
I remember when Your presence burned like fire in my bones;
Now I'm standing in this valley, feeling far from home.
Pre
Still You're the One who sends the rain,
So I lift this fragile faith again…
Chorus
I don't want to be clouds with no water,
A ravine with no stream.
Would You breathe on these dry bones —
Your Spirit's all I need.
Heal every dry place where Your life used to be;
May Your river restore what used to be green.
Verse 2
I've been praying through the heartache, things I can't explain,
Carrying these quiet questions in a river of pain.
But You don't crush the bruised reed, or put the wick to shame;
You are near the broken-hearted, when we call Your name.
Pre
So take this fear and unbelief,
Breathe Your courage, breathe Your peace…
Chorus
I don't want to be clouds with no water,
A ravine with no stream.
Would You breathe on these dry bones —
Your Spirit's all I need.
Heal every dry place where Your life used to be;
May Your river restore what used to be green.
Bridge
You're the river in the desert, You're the song in the night.
When I'm crushed beneath the weight here, You still hold me in the fight.
Every tear that I've been hiding, You have counted, You have seen;
Turn this wilderness to garden, make these withered branches green.
Final Chorus
I don't want to be clouds with no water,
A ravine with no stream.
Would You breathe on these dry bones —
Your Spirit's all I need.
Heal every dry place where Your life used to be;
May Your river restore what used to be green.
