Dust On My Bible (Folk-Gospel Male)

[Verse 1] There’s dust on my Bible On the nightstand by the bed Pages stuck together From the tears I never shed Coffee ring on Genesis Ticket stub in Psalms I was chasing every chaos Trying to fake a calm [Chorus] But every time I open up that book My heavy heart remembers where to look Red letters in the margins of my mind Saying “Child You were lost Now you’re found this time” I was running I was hiding from that call Till grace wrote my name across it all [Verse 2] Grandma’s faded handwriting Underlined in John “Perfect love casts out the fear You’ve been leaning on” I can hear her humming low In that old church pew “Trust the One who split the sea He will carry you” [Chorus] And every time I open up that book My weary soul remembers where to look Red letters in the margins of my mind Saying “Child You were blind Now you see the sign” I was running I was hiding from that call Till grace wrote my name across it all [Bridge] I don’t need all the answers (oh) To fall down on this floor Just a mustard seed of hope And a heart that wants You more If You can raise the broken From a borrowed grave You can take these shaking hands Teach ’em how to praise (hey!) [Chorus] So every day I’m opening that book My stumbling steps remember where to look Red letters in the margins of my mind Saying “Child You are mine You are mine You are mine” I was running I was hiding from that call Now Your love Only love Covers it all
