Lyrics
Dry bones are rising rising in Jesus name.
Dry bones are rising rising
Strongholds are breaking breaking in Jesus name
Strongholds are breaking breaking
Mountains are moving moving in Jesus Name
Mountains are moving moving
Giants are falling falling in Jesus name
Giants are falling falling
Red seas are parting parting in Jesus Name
Red seas are parting parting
Valleys are filling filling in Jesus name
Valleys are filling filling
Levels are changing changing in Jesus name
Levels are changing changing
Armies are rising rising in Jesus name
Armies are rising rising
In the matchless name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!!!!

Meaning & Inspiration
Thus Says the Lord uses a sequence of biblical images to proclaim divine power over conditions that appear immovable or lifeless. Dry bones rise, strongholds break, mountains move, giants fall, seas part, and valleys fill. Each declaration is anchored in the name of Jesus, giving the song the form of sustained prayer and proclamation rather than a detailed narrative.
The opening image closely echoes Ezekiel 37, where God commands breath into dry bones and raises them to life. References to a parting sea recall Israel’s deliverance in Exodus 14, while valleys being raised and mountains made low resemble Isaiah’s language of preparing the Lord’s way. By gathering these scenes together, the song presents restoration, deliverance, and changed circumstances as works of God. Its final hallelujah directs the repeated declarations toward worship, while the rising army image suggests renewed life becoming purposeful service under God’s authority.
