(Verse 1) The ground is cracked, the dirt is dry We look up to a silent sky We returned to the city walls But the dust is where the shadow falls It feels so far from where we’ve been When we were free and alive again (Chorus) But oh, it felt just like a dream When You broke the chains and redeemed the slave Our mouths were filled with laughter then And we will sing that song again You're turning deserts into gardens! The Lord has done great things! (Verse 2) So here we walk the barren floor With heavy hearts and hands so sore We carry seeds through bitter grief And bury them beneath our feet It feels like death to drop them down Into this cold and frozen ground (Chorus) But oh, it felt just like a dream When You broke the chains and redeemed the slave Our mouths were filled with laughter then And we will sing that song again You're turning deserts into gardens! The Lord has done great things! (Bridge) Restore our fortunes, Lord, today! Like flash floods washing the desert away! Send the rain to the Negeb sand! Bring the dead back to life in this land! Those who weep while they sow the seed Will gather the harvest they went out to meet! (Shouted) Watch the green break through! (Guitar/Banjo Solo - High energy, triumphant) (Chorus) Oh, it felt just like a dream When You broke the chains and redeemed the slave Our mouths are filled with laughter now As we watch the life break through the plow! You're turning deserts into gardens! Yes, the Lord has done great things! (Outro) We went out crying... We’re coming home singing. Look at the garden growing. Look at the garden growing.
