[Intro] [clean electric guitar riff, driving drums, bass enters] (Yeah!) [Verse 1] [palm-muted electric guitar] From the rivers of Babylon Where the captives sat and wept A remnant heard a stirring The Lord had not forget Cyrus king of Persia Gave the decree at last Go rebuild the house of God Let the worship start again [Pre-Chorus] [guitar opens up, building drums] They returned with joy and trembling Led by Zerubbabel Lay the foundation of the temple Though the work was hard and slow Enemies rose against them Trying to make them cease But the prophets spoke with fire And the people found new peace [Chorus] [full band, driving rock feel] We have come home Restored by grace From exile back into The promised place Though the ruins lay around us And the task feels overwhelm The hand of God is with us He is faithful and unchanging [Verse 2] [bass-driven rhythm, staccato guitar] Ezra came a man of scripture Teacher of the law He wept for all the sin he saw And called the people back to God They put away their idols They turned from what was wrong Renewed the covenant with tears And sang a brand new song [Bridge] [dynamic drop, building intensity] Though the wall was not yet built But the heart was turning home The word of God was opened wide And reverence filled the throne For the Lord had brought them back Not for their righteousness But because of His great mercy And His faithfulness [Chorus] [full energy] We have come home (We have come home) Restored by grace (Restored by grace) From exile back into The promised place Though the ruins lay around us And the task feels overwhelm The hand of God is with us He is faithful and unchanging [Outro] [guitar riff repeats] Ezra, Ezra, Ezra, Ezra
