Dry Bones
Dry Bones The melody was composed by African-American author and songwriter James Weldon Johnson (1871–193 cool . Some sources also credit his brother, J Rosomond Johnson. First recorded by The Famous Myers Jubilee Singers in 1928. Both a long and a shortened version of the song are widely known. The lyrics are inspired by Ezekiel 37:1-14, where the Prophet visits the "Valley of Dry Bones" and prophesies that they will one day be resurrected at God's command, picturing the national resurrection of Israel.
Lyrics:
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones Don’t you hear the word of the Lord? Toe bone connected foot bone Foot bone connected leg bone Leg bone connected knee bone Don’t you hear the word of the Lord?
Leg bone connected knee bone Knee bone connected thighbone Thighbone connected hipbone Don’t you hear the word of the Lord?
Hipbone connected backbone Backbone connected shoulder bone Shoulder bone connected neck bone Don’t you hear the word of the Lord?
