Steady These Bones

Verse 1

Shadows fall

Heavy eyes in the brush

Still I move through the hush

Grass between toes

Steps uncertain

You steady these bones

Beside water

Silent, slow

You know me, you know

My running heart

Empty cup

Yet you pour, overflow

Comfort calls, quiet corner

Aching spirit held

Sunrise breaks the border

Lord, gentle hand

Chorus

You restore my soul

You restore my soul

Again, again you do

Again, again you do

Mercy follows

Goodness grows

You restore my soul

Post-Chorus

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai wega

Verse 2

Past the valley’s low cry

Still I'm not afraid

Your rod, staff guiding

Night will not stay

Anaphora, echoes call

Still I breathe your name

Still I breathe your name

Table waiting, hungry feet

Oiled and grateful, I rise

Enemies watching

Heart undimmed

Your voice in the wind

Kept, led, forgiven, found

Chorus

You restore my soul

You restore my soul

Again, again you do

Again, again you do

Mercy follows

Goodness grows

You restore my soul

Post-Chorus

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai wega

Bridge

All my days

All my ways

All my days, I stay

Dwelling in your shelter

Never turn me away

Chorus

You restore my soul

You restore my soul

Again, again you do

Again, again you do

Mercy follows

Goodness grows

You restore my soul

Post-Chorus

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai

Ndîna Ngai wega
