[Verse 1] Sunrise broke on a hollow plain, Ashes rising where the cities lay. We walked out trembling, hand in hand, Dust of judgment in our footprints on the sand. Lot’s wife calling on a wind-torn breeze, Turned back once and turned to memory. So we kept on moving, hearts still sore, Smoke on the horizon, angels at the door. [Chorus] Oh my bones feel heavy, Lord, And I’m worn down through and through. I’ve cried all night on a weary floor, But I still lift my eyes to You. When the world comes burning down again, And the shadows stretch and bend— Guide me out, guide me on, Till sorrow has an end. [Verse 2] Abraham rose in the dim dawn light, Saw the valley swallowed up in fire. But hope still flickered like a lantern’s flame, ’Cause he heard a promise whispered in his name. Years rolled on through the desert’s hum, Old hearts waiting for a child to come. And laughter broke the barren years apart, Isaac born like sunrise in a tired man’s heart. [Chorus] Oh my bones feel heavy, Lord, And I’m worn down through and through. I’ve cried all night on a weary floor, But I still lift my eyes to You. When the world comes burning down again, And the shadows stretch and bend— Guide me out, guide me on, Till sorrow has an end. [Bridge] Heal me in this low-down hour, Mercy running thin. I’m drowning in my weakness, Lord, Come wash away my sin. My soul is aching, worn and frail, Every breath a plea— Turn back, turn back, O God of light, And shine Your face on me. [Chorus – Extended] Oh my bones feel heavy, Lord, But You break the night in two. You carry me through the firestorm— You make the morning new. When the world comes burning down again, I’ll trust Your whisper in the wind— Guide me out, guide me on, Till sorrow has an end. [Outro] So we travel on through desert air, Smoke behind, but promise everywhere. And the laughter of a newborn son Says the long night’s over, And the day’s begun.
