Resonate the Word - Build the Walls Lyrics

The city lay in dust and stone
A people lost, a land alone
A cupbearer, a heart so torn
Cried out to God, Restore, reform
The King gave word, the way was made
Through gates long burned and hopes delayed
With sword in hand and trowel tight
They built the walls by faith, not might
Oh, rise up, build again
With broken hearts, with calloused hands
The Lord is strong, His promise stays
He will restore, He makes a way
The voices mocked, the enemies swayed
They schemed, they lied, they sought delay
But standing firm, they would not yield
For God Himself would be their shield
Day and night, the work went on
With weary hands, yet faith stood strong
And in just days, with stone and grace
The walls arose-a holy place
Oh, rise up, build again
With broken hearts, with calloused hands
The Lord is strong, His promise stays
He will restore, He makes a way
The law was read, the hearts were stirred
They wept in awe, they heard His Word
But joy was called, their hearts were raised
The Lord is strength, rejoice in grace
Oh, rise up, build again
With broken hearts, with calloused hands
The Lord is strong, His promise stays
He will restore, He makes a way
The walls were raised, yet hearts still yearned
For something more, a King's return
The day will come, the gates will stand
Forever built by God's own hand
