I speak to barrenness
I command life within
Come live you desolate
Spring up you living well

I speak to barrenness
I command life within
Come live you desolate
Fling wide you ancient gates

Healing power flow like a river
Reveal your mending heart
To every tormented soul
Emmanuel come quick to deliver

So let hope in
Open your walls
Hope conquers all
I speak to barrenness
I command life within
Come live you desolate
Spring up you living well

I speak to barrenness
I command life within
Come live you desolate
Fling wide you ancient gates
Healing power flow like a river
Reveal your mending heart
To every tormented soul
Emmanuel come quick to deliver

So let hope in
Open your walls
Hope conquers all

There goes all my doubts
There goes all my pain
On that day you rose again
Sin no longer stains
There goes all my questioning
There goes all my fears
On that day of reckoning
Hope has reappeared

So let hope in
Open your walls
Hope conquers all
