One of the most significant chapters in the book of Ezekiel was its 37th chapter, wherein the Lord brought Ezekiel into a valley of dry bones and asked him,
"Son of man, can these bones live?"
"Sovereign Lord, you alone know", replied the prophet Ezekiel. (Ezekiel 37:3)
Then the Lord commands Ezekiel to a prophesy:
"Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'" (Ezekiel 37:4-6)
Popular Christian music artists, Chris Tomlin and Lecrae, were able to bring this powerful prophecy into a song entitled "Awake My Soul".
Here is the part of the song which is a beautiful reflection of the passage in Ezekiel:
"Then He said to me,
Prophesy to these bones and say to them,
Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones,
I will make breath enter you,
And you will come alive.
So I prophesied as I was commanded.
As I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound,
And the bones came together, bone to bone.
And I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them,
And skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
Then He said to me,
Prophesy to the breath,
Prophesy, son of man, and say to it,
Come from the four winds of breath and breathe,Awake, awake, awake my soul,
God resurrect these bones
From death to life, through you alone
Awake my soul."
