Ruins Songtext
von Mandisa

I look around and all I see
Burning buildings, barren trees
Hopelessness is starting to wreak havoc
But Son of Man, I know You see
The deepest depths unknown to me
You have planted seeds among the ashes

You rebuild
You restore
All that′s broken
From the ruins
You redeem
You return
All that's stolen
From Your children
That′s what You do
That's what You do


So be still my anxious heart
All that's gone is never lost
Emmanuel is here and He is faithful
So I won′t let my praises stop
I′ll sing it from these rubbled rocks
'Cause I know You are good and You are able

You rebuild
You restore
All that′s broken
From the ruins
You redeem
You return
All that's stolen
From Your children
That′s what You do
That's what You do

You mix beauty from ashes
Yeah, that′s what You do
You turn sorrow to gladness
Yeah, that's what You do
I gave glory and honor
For all that You do
I will sing "Hallelujah"
For all that You do


You mix beauty from ashes
Yeah, that's what You do
You turn sorrow to gladness
Yeah, that′s what You do
I gave glory and honor
For all that You do
I will sing "Hallelujah"
For all that You do
For all that You do

You rebuild
You restore
All that′s broken
From the ruins
You redeem
You return
All that's stolen
From Your children

You rebuild
You restore (yes, You do)
All that′s broken (all that's broken)
From the ruins (from the ruins)
You redeem (yes, You are)
You return (yes, You do)
All that′s stolen (all that's stolen)
From Your children

That′s what You do
That's what You do
