Analysis of BONES ON THE VALLEY RATTLE
BONES IN THE VALLEY RATTLE
I see the Son rising in the east
As we fight in the shadow of the Beast
In the valley the bones do rattle
Tell the church it's time for battle!
Rise up, church, and grab your Sword
Arm yourself and follow our Lord
The gates of Hell we March to level
Destruction for the works of the Devil!
You say you're sick, you aren't well
Are you poor, or locked in jail
Look! The walls of the prison shake!
The time is now! The church awakes!
Time of miracles comes once again
Our Lord is marching, so we begin
No ocean will stop, no mountain delay
The bones in the valley rattle till today
We are the voice, calling out in one accord
Makes straight the way, the way of the Lord
Follow the Son, the great I Am
Lion of Judah, the resurrected Lamb
As watchmen in the valley, we heard the rattle
Arise ye saints, off to fight the battle
Take up the sword, and live the Word
Shout out loud, till all have heard
AMEN

About this poem
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Ezekiel 37 7-8
