Dead Things to Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Though I have nothing, my life is an offering
I lay me down
Steady my heart Lord, in suffering and sorrow
I lay me down
[Pre-Chorus]
When lost in the shadows, remind me of Your promises
I'm holding on to the breaking of dawn
When Your light shines through
[Chorus]
Oh, I breathe in Your breath
Oh, my heart is at rest
Oh, You're bringing the dead things to life
[Verse 2]
You turn the tables, I know You are able
Your will be done
You give strength for today, would You guide my tomorrow
Your will be done
[Pre-Chorus]
When lost in the shadows, remind me of Your promises
I'm holding on to the breaking of dawn
When Your light shines through
[Chorus]
Oh, I breathe in Your breath
Oh, my heart is at rest
Oh, You're bringing the dead things to life
[Bridge]
Out of the ruins You're making me whole
The giver of life is awakening hope
I lift my eyes to see Your faithfulness
Take courage my soul
Take courage my soul
Out of the ruins You're making me whole
The giver of life is awakening hope
I lift my eyes to see Your faithfulness
Take courage my soul
Take courage my soul
[Chorus]
Oh, I breathe in Your breath
Oh, my heart is at rest
Oh, You're bringing the dead things to life
