build us back

newsboys

we've been crumbled

we've been crushed

city walls have turned to dust

broken hands and blistered feet

we walk for miles to find relief

when the thief takes

when our hopes cave

you build us back

you build us back

when the earth shakes

when the world breaks

you build us back

you build us back

we are scared

we are poor

all our safety nets are torn

we've been humbled to our knees

from these ruins

we believe

when the thief takes

when our hopes cave

you build us back

you build us back

when the earth shakes

when the world breaks

you build us back

you build us back

redeemer

redeem us

restorer

restore us

oh build us back

though the mountains be shaken

the hills be removed

your unfailing love remains

after all that's been taken

your promise

still sacred

you build us back with precious stones

when the thief takes

when our hopes cave

you build us back

you build us back

when the earth shakes

when the world breaks

you build us back

you build us back
