EZRA – Return and Rebuild by Bro H

Verse 1 By the rivers of a foreign land We remembered Zion’s name Seventy years in a broken place Under discipline and flame The prophets cried, the kings fell down The city burned in shame But the Word of God stood waiting still And never once it changed Verse 2 A foreign throne, a stirred-up heart A king who did not know Yet Yahweh moved his spirit To let His people go The vessels taken from His house Were numbered one by one What judgment scattered long ago Restoration now begun Chorus Return and rebuild The altar, the wall The covenant people Must answer the call Not all will rise Not all will see But a remnant still remembers Who they’re meant to be Return and rebuild With clean hands and truth Not mixed with the nations Nor bent from our roots The house of our fathers Still stands by His will What God has spoken He’s fulfilling still Verse 3 Not every captive turned their feet Back toward the holy ground Many stayed among the nations Lost to name and sound But those whose hearts were stirred within Rose up from exile’s night To guard the seed, restore the law And walk again in light Verse 4 The foundation laid with tears and shouts Old men wept, young men cried Some remembered former glory Some saw hope arise The work was mocked, the enemies came With counsel mixed and false But separation was the line That Yahweh never crossed Chorus Return and rebuild The altar, the wall The covenant people Must answer the call Not all will rise Not all will see But a remnant still remembers Who they’re meant to be Return and rebuild Though the world resists The holy seed Must not be mixed The house of our fathers Still stands by His will What God has spoken He’s fulfilling still Bridge We are not many But we are known Marked by promise Carried home From Abraham To Jacob’s name The Word still burns The fire’s the same Not by numbers Not by might But by the Spirit We stand upright Verse 5 With Ezra reading Moses’ words While the builders stood in place The walls were raised with sword in hand And prayer upon the breath Watching through the rising dust Between the threat and faith For every stone restored in truth Was a vow being renewed Final Chorus Return and rebuild Though ages pass The covenant line Still holds fast From dust to promise From seed to flame Our God is faithful He remains Return and rebuild Until the day The scattered sheep Are called His way The city stands The Word fulfilled Yahweh’s people Are rising still Outro What He decreed Will surely stand The house rebuilt By His own hand
