Lead Us Back


by Bobby Gilles and Brooks Ritter

Falling down upon our knees
Sharing now in common shame 
We have sought security 
Not the cross that bears your name
Fences guard our hearts and homes
Comfort sings a siren tune
Weʼre a valley of dry bones
Lead us back to life in you.

Lord we fall upon our knees 
We have shunned the weak poor 
Worshipped beauty courted kings 
And the things their gold affords 
Prayed for those weʼd like to know 
Favor sings a siren tune 
Weʼve become a talent show 
Lead us back to life in you

Lord youʼve caused the blind to see 
We have blinded them again 
With our manmade laws and creeds 
Eager ready to condemn 
Now we plead before your throne 
Power sings a siren tune 
Weʼve been throwing heavy stones 
Lead us back to life in you.

Ending 
Weʼre a valley of dry bones 
Lead us back to life in you. 
Weʼve become a talent show 
Lead us back to life in you 
Weʼve been throwing heavy stones 
Lead us back to life in you.
