This very ground that we're standing on is life in your hands
And these lips that you breathed on, breathe on again
This heart that you moved in is cold and fast asleep
This cold hard dirt beneath my feet is calling out to me
Up from the dust, we came
and to it we return one day
But in between your love will rain and new life begin
This cold winter's grave that they dug for us won't ever hold back the Spring
And this prison cell that we've built for ourselves won't ever keep out the key
This shell that my soul is living in is cold and fast asleep,
but I know there's a well for the thirsty indeed, and it's calling us to drink
Up from the dust, we came
and to it we return one day
but in between your love will rain and new life begin
Up from the dust, we came
and to it we return one day
but in between your love will rain and new life begin
New life, new love, new day dawning
New hope, a new world, new sun rising
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
New life, new love, new day dawning
New hope, a new world, a new sun rising
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
Up from the dust, we came
and to it we return one day
but in between your love will rain and new life begin
Oh, up from the dust, we came
and to it we return one day
but in between your love will rain and new life begin
New life begin, whoa
New life begin
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
New life, new love, Heaven breaking in
