The Master of Life

Scripture and reflection

Ezekiel 37:1–14

A dramatic Scripture-centered song inspired by Ezekiel’s vision of dry bones, where God brings life and hope to what seemed beyond restoration.

In Ezekiel 37:1–14, the Lord leads the prophet into a valley filled with dry bones. The bones represent the house of Israel in exile, a people who say that their hope is lost. God asks whether these bones can live, and Ezekiel answers by entrusting the impossible to the Lord.

At God’s command, Ezekiel prophesies to the bones. They come together, receive sinews and flesh, and finally receive breath. The vision is a promise that God has not abandoned His people: He will restore them and put His Spirit within them so they may live.

“The Master of Life” draws on the striking imagery of this vision to reflect on God’s power to restore hope where all seems lost. Its central promise belongs first to Israel in the passage; the song invites us to remember the God who gives life, keeps His word, and is not limited by what human eyes can see.
