Dust on My Bible (Folk-Gospel Gentle)

Verse 1

There’s dust on my Bible

On the shelf by the door

Pages thin as whispers

I ain’t opened in a while before

Coffee getting colder

Phone lighting up my name

But there’s a verse in red still waiting

Like it’s calling me again

Chorus

Open up the pages of my wandering heart

Let Your words be the light in the dark

Every line like water on a burned-out soul

Read me

Lead me

Make my broken whole

I’ve been running

I’ve been idle

Bring me back through this old Bible

Verse 2

Found a note from my mama

In the margin by a psalm

“Baby

When you’re hurting

Sing this till you feel calm”

Tears on the ink from years ago

Blend with mine today

Funny how the same old story

Still can show a brand-new way

Chorus

Open up the pages of my wandering heart

Let Your words be the light in the dark

Every line like water on a burned-out soul

Read me

Lead me

Make my broken whole

I’ve been running

I’ve been idle

Bring me back through this old Bible

Bridge

I don’t need a sign in the sky

Just a quiet room and Your truth inside

Every chapter

Every line

Writes Your mercy over mine (oh oh)

Chorus

Open up the pages of my wandering heart

Let Your words be the light in the dark

Every line like water on a burned-out soul

Read me

Lead me

Make my broken whole

I’ve been running

I’ve been idle

Bring me back through this old Bible
