Red Tide and Dry Bones

Red Tide and Dry Bones

Storm clouds rolling

Raindrops falling

Cold breeze blowing

Descending darkness all around

A Red Tide and Dry Bones

The rough sea that is me

Where’s the light in this darkness?

Where’s the light in this place?

Yet, I sit and pray

And wonder

And worship

In the midst of the storm

Raindrops on the water

Like deep calls to deep

Water feeding water

Like Your Word nourishes me

The fading sunset

Breaks through the gray.

A new direction seen

In the dull and mundane.

The light

Calming the breeze

And the sea.

The sun

Calming the storm

And me.

Red Tide flowing

Sinew and muscle growing

Dry Bones alive again

Again He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.’ Thus says the Lord God to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.’” – Ezekiel 37:4-6 NASB
