Come Alive
Lauren Daigle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the eyes of men, it seems there's so much we have lost
As we look down the road where all the prodigals have walked
One by one, the enemy has whispered lies
And led them off as slaves

But we know that You are God, Yours is the victory
We know there is more to come
That we may not yet see

So with the faith You've given us
We'll step into the valley unafraid, yeah

As we call out to dry bones, come alive, come alive
We call out to dead hearts, come alive, come alive
Up out of the ashes, let us see an army rise
We call out to dry bones, come alive

God of endless mercy, god of unrelenting love
Rescue every daughter, bring us back the wayward son
And by Your spirit, breathe upon them, show the world that You alone can save
You alone can save

As we call out to dry bones, come alive, come alive
We call out to dead hearts, come alive, come alive
Up out of the ashes, let us see an army rise
We call out to dry bones, come alive

So breathe, oh, breath of God
Now breathe, oh, breath of God
Breathe, oh, breath of God, now breathe

Breathe, oh, breath of God
Now breathe, oh, breath of God
Breathe, oh, breath of God, now breathe

As we call out to dry bones, come alive, come alive
We call out to dead hearts, come alive, come alive
Up out of the ashes, let us see an army rise
We call out to dry bones, come alive

We call out to dry bones, come alive
Oh, come alive

Overall Meaning

In Lauren Daigle's song "Come Alive," the lyrics speak of loss, lies, and slavery, but ultimately offer hope and encouragement. The song begins by acknowledging that, from a human perspective, it can appear as though much has been lost and many have strayed from the faith. However, the chorus declares that God is victorious and that there is still more to come, even if it is not yet visible. The song then transitions to a call for the dead to rise, both the physically dead and those whose hearts have grown cold. The lyrics call upon God's mercy and love to rescue those who have strayed and to breathe life back into them, demonstrating to the world that God is the only one who can save. The song concludes with a repetition of the call for dry bones to come alive.

Overall, "Come Alive" is a powerful statement of faith and hope in the face of loss and suffering. It acknowledges the reality of pain and struggle but does not dwell on it. Instead, it looks forward to the victory that has already been won through Christ and calls for others to join in that victory.

Line by Line Meaning

Through the eyes of men, it seems there's so much we have lost
From a human perspective, it may feel like we've lost so much

As we look down the road where all the prodigals have walked
Looking at the path that those who have wandered away have taken

One by one, the enemy has whispered lies
The adversary has told falsehoods, one after another

And led them off as slaves
And taken them away as prisoners

But we know that You are God, Yours is the victory
But we know that You are the Almighty, You have ultimate success

We know there is more to come
We understand that further blessings are on the way

That we may not yet see
That we may not yet see

So with the faith You've given us
So with the confidence You have bestowed upon us

We'll step into the valley unafraid, yeah
We will enter the low point without hesitation

As we call out to dry bones, come alive, come alive
As we implore dry skeletons to rise from the dead

We call out to dead hearts, come alive, come alive
We plead with hearts that have stopped beating to come back to life

Up out of the ashes, let us see an army rise
Out of the ruins, let us witness an army emerge

God of endless mercy, god of unrelenting love
God merciful without limit, a God of persistent love

Rescue every daughter, bring us back the wayward son
Save every daughter, bring the wandering son back to us

And by Your spirit, breathe upon them, show the world that You alone can save
And through Your spirit, blow life into them, exhibit to the world that You are the only one who can save

Breathe, oh, breath of God
Exhale, oh, breath from God

Now breathe, oh, breath of God
Now respire, oh, breath from God

As we call out to dry bones, come alive, come alive
As we exclaim to withered bones to come to life

We call out to dead hearts, come alive, come alive
We invoke dead hearts to awaken

Up out of the ashes, let us see an army rise
Let us watch an army emerge from the ashes

We call out to dry bones, come alive
We call out to dry skeletons to rise from the dead

Oh, come alive
Oh, come back to life
