Dust on My Bible (Band-In-A-Room Gospel-Folk)

Verse 1

Opened up the drawer this morning

Found You under grocery lists

Dust on my Bible cover

Like I’d shelved our every kiss

Coffee getting cold beside me

Pages fluttered

Thin and worn

Red letters like little embers

Still waiting to stay warm

Chorus

Breathe on these pages

Wake up my heart

Read me like a story

Tear me apart

I’ve wandered in circles

But I know Your voice

Dust on my Bible

Grace on my choice (oh-oh)

Verse 2

Names in the family margin

Dates

And a tear-stained verse

Grandma’s shaky ink reminders

“Run to God when it feels worst”

I’ve been scrolling through my questions

Chasing answers in a glow

But every line I underlined

Still says the way to go

Chorus

Breathe on these pages

Wake up my heart

Read me like a story

Tear me apart

I’ve wandered in circles

But I know Your voice

Dust on my Bible

Grace on my choice (yeah-yeah)

Bridge

I thought You’d gone quiet

But I’d just gone loud

Tuning out a whisper

With the noise of the crowd

So I turn down my hurry

Let the old words ring new

Every chapter

Every promise

Still pulling me to You

Chorus

Breathe on these pages

Wake up my heart

Read me like a story

Tear me apart

I’ve wandered in circles

But I know Your voice

Dust on my Bible

Grace on my choice

Dust on my Bible

But You still rejoice (oh Lord)
