Winter Bones (Back To Life)

Verse 1

There’s a silence in my chest tonight

Where fire used to be

Not doubt, not fear — just quiet

Like winter in the trees

I don’t feel the rush of heaven

I don’t feel the overflow

But I still know

Pre-Chorus

You said You’d never leave me

You said You’d always stay

Chorus

So I will worship in the numbness

I will sing when I feel nothing

You are God beyond my feelings

You are faithful in all seasons

When my soul feels like an echo

When my prayers feel paper-thin

You are near to the brokenhearted

Your breath is warming the winter in my bones

Verse 2

The world feels heavy on my shoulders

Like I’m carrying all its pain

Every headline, every sorrow

Every whispered ache

And I don’t have the strength to fix it

I don’t have the words to say

But You remain

Pre-Chorus

Provider in the wilderness

Closer than my breath

Chorus

So I will worship in the waiting

I will trust You in the stillness

You are God of every season

Even in this in-between

When my heart feels unfamiliar

When I’m tired of being strong

You are near to the weary

And You cradle my heart like a child and You bring me back to life ooooh ohhh

Bridge (this would build slowly, not explosively — layered vocals, gentle drum rhythmic entering)

You are here

Even when I don’t feel it

You are here

Even in the quiet

You are here

Closer than the silence

You are here in all seasons

(Repeat, soft but strong)

You never leave

You never leave (never leave)

You never leave me

Tag (pull everything back to piano only)

You are near to the brokenhearted

You are near to the weary soul

You are near to me

When winter lingers long

You are waking what was sleeping

Turning graves into gardens

You’re the God who brings dead things back to life

Jesus, breathe on my sleeping soul tonight
