Dry bones

Are we but dry bones?
Empty of God's love
Are we like the skeletons?
Of the valley
Having the form of men
The framework of the body
But empty of spiritual life?
Where is the breath of life?
Where the upright stance?
The spring of activity
The bones may represent the church of God
And the hope of the church: the Holy Spirit!
But without the breath of the Lord
Dry bones they will remain...
