Re: Ezekiel's Bone Yard - Does anyone have the lyr
Twas down on bone-yard circuit,
There was no way to shirk it,
A preacher named Ezekiel was sent;
He landed at the station,
And saw the situation,
A valley full of bones his audience;
By way of a suggestion,
The Lord asked him a question
“Can these dry bones be raised up
from the dead?”
The Spirit was beseeching,
Ezekiel went to preaching,
And from the pulpit this is what he
said;
Chorus:
O ye old dry bones, hear the word of
the Lord,
“Stand upon your feet, and His goodness
repeat,
Lay aside your dry profession,
Get a Holy Ghost possession.
You’ve been bleaching in the valley
long enough.”
The bones began to rattle,
Like muskets in a battle,
When ‘Zekiel took his text and started
in.
‘Twas plain it didn’t matter,
In spite of all the clatter,
For ‘Zekiel kept right on a-clubbing
sin;
The bones all came together,
In spite of stormy weather,
To hear the message from the Lord’s
right hand.
It made them sit and wonder,
To hear this “Son of thunder,”
As from the pulpit issued this command:
The rattle was terrific,
The message was specific,
“Repent,” the preacher roared in
thunder tones;
There’ll be no absolution,
Till you make restitution.
The muscles then appeared upon the
bones.
You’ll have no good beginning,
Until you quit your sinning.
The muscles soon were covered o’er
with skin;
His breathless congregation
Was filled with consternation,
As ‘Zekiel’s voice arose above the din:
Chorus:
O ye old dry bones, hear the word of
the Lord,
“Stand upon your feet, and His goodness
repeat.
Lay aside your dry profession.
Get a Holy Ghost possession.
You’ve been bleaching in the valley
long enough.”
They sat and warmed the benches,
While ‘Zekiel rushed the trenches,
And preached the word with all his
might and main;
It caused a big commotion,
When he, with deep emotion,
Said, “Breath of God, come breathe
upon these slain.”
The wind was soon a-blowing,
The bones were soon a-going,
Around the place as fast as they could
run;
They got the second blessing,
And now the real excitement had
begun
