Jericho song

I walk down the street
To the let are the homeless
They are hungry
To the right are the sick
Begging for money
I look straight ahead
Afraid I might get dirty
What can You do with these dry bones?

O Lord God, You know
My heart breaks for this Jericho
Restorer, transform the ashes
Raise up an army from these dry bones
Rebuilder, tear down the walls
Let Your word penetrate the groans of our hearts
Help us, Lord, please to see the least of these

God, commander in chief
Your soldiers are ready
Marching on our knees
Begging for revival
Oh, Lord God, please
Hear the deepest yearning
of our broken hearts
We long to see lives
learn how to truly live

O Lord God, You know
My heart breaks for this Jericho
Restorer, transform the ashes
Raise up an army from these dry bones
Rebuilder, tear down the walls
Let Your word penetrate the groans of our hearts
Help us, Lord, please to see the least of these

Help me see hearts, not faces
Help me value souls, not pocketbooks
Show me how to love You like I need to
Unleash the flames my heart can't contain
Your word, igniting a spark of change
My battlecry remains "Mighty to save!"
