Elevation Worship - Rattle! Lyrics
Lyrics
Saturday was silent
Surely it was through
But since when has impossible
Ever stopped You
Friday’s disappointment
Is Sunday’s empty tomb
Since when has impossible
Ever stopped You
This is the sound
Of dry bones rattling
This is the praise
Make a dead man walk again
Open the grave
I'm coming out
I'm gonna live
Gonna live again
This is the sound
Of dry bones rattling!
Pentecostal fire
Stirring something new
You're not gonna run out of miracles
Anytime soon
Resurrection power
Runs in my veins too
I believe there's another miracle
Here in this room!
My God is able to save
And deliver and heal
And restore anything that He wants to
Just ask the man
Who was thrown
On the bones of Elisha
If there’s anything that He can’t do
Just ask the stone
That was rolled
At the tomb in the garden
What happens when God says to move
I feel Him moving it now
I feel Him doing it now
I feel Him doing it now
Do it now
LIVE!
LIVE!
Dry bones
Hear the word of the Lord!
This is what He said!
God said live
And the bones began to RATTLE!

Meaning & Inspiration
Elevation Worship's "Rattle!" from their 2020 album *Graves into Gardens (Deluxe)* is a powerful declaration of the transformative and life-giving power of God's Word, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The song’s essence is rooted in the profound biblical concept of divine resurrection, drawing inspiration from the account of dry bones receiving life in Ezekiel 37. Just as the prophet was called to speak to the desolate valley, commanding life into what was dead, "Rattle!" echoes this prophetic command, encouraging believers to speak God's truth and life into stagnant situations. The message is one of active faith, asserting that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is at work within us, capable of bringing about revival. This aligns with Romans 8:11, which states that if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he will give life to your mortal bodies. The song’s narrative unfolds as a testament to God’s ability to breathe hope and purpose into brokenness, transforming despair into vibrant life, much like the turning of a desolate landscape into a thriving garden, the very theme of the album it graces. It’s a reminder that our words, when aligned with God’s promises, carry divine authority, capable of shifting atmospheres and awakening the dormant potential within individuals and communities, mirroring the active faith described in Hebrews 11:1, where faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. "Rattle!" serves as an anthem for those who believe in the God of the impossible, urging them to release faith-filled declarations that will cause the dead to stir and the captives to be set free, echoing the Psalmist’s cry for God to awaken His power and come to their rescue, as found in Psalm 35:23.
