Been riding fences with a restless soul
Hands on the plow but I let it go
Got dust on my boots and doubt in my chest
Heard the Word but I ain’t done my best
Still, there’s a fire I can’t outrun
Like a trumpet calling me to stand up, son
Pre-Chorus
He says be strong, don’t be afraid
I’ll go before you, I’ve already made the way
Chorus
So stir me up, wake these bones
We weren’t made to walk alone
Stand shoulder to shoulder, iron on iron
Light the dark, let the truth catch fire
If one man falls, we lift him high
Love in our hands, work in our lives
This ain’t comfort, this is the call
We rise together or not at all
Verse 2
I’ve worn my past like a loaded gun
Shame in the chamber, finger on the run
But mercy met me at the crossroad sign
Said lay it down, boy, give me your life
Empty the cup, let the old man die
I’ll fill you up if you trust My fight
Pre-Chorus
Not my will, Lord, Yours be done
I’ll follow You into the rising sun
Chorus
So stir me up, wake these bones
We weren’t made to walk alone
Stand shoulder to shoulder, iron on iron
Light the dark, let the truth catch fire
If one man falls, we lift him high
Love in our hands, work in our lives
This ain’t comfort, this is the call
We rise together or not at all
Bridge
Be strong and courageous, don’t turn back now
Fight for your brothers, your kids, your house
Faith without action is dead in the ground
It’s time for men to stand their ground
No more silence, no more delay
Kingdom builders, today’s the day
Breakdown (spoken or half-sung)
Men of the Word, men of the Way
Not hearers only, but moved to obey
Watch the wall, take your post
Stand firm in the faith, don’t coast
Final Chorus
So stir us up, wake these bones
We weren’t made to walk alone
Side by side till the race is run
Many hearts beating under one Son
We lay it down, we take the stand
Led by God, not by our plans
This ain’t a moment, this is the call
We rise together, multiplied
Outro
Be strong and courageous
The Lord goes with you
Now step forward.
