Dust on the Altar (Folk-Gospel Groove)

[Verse 1] Coffee stained pages Open on my knees Words from an old world Spilling over me Sun through the window Dust in the air Feels like the quiet Is answering my prayer [Chorus] Breathe on these bones again Wake up my silent heart You wrote my name In the dark with a spark I was wandering Wandering You were there from the start Breathe on these bones again Light up my aching heart [Verse 2] Shoes by the doorway Mud on the floor Came in so heavy Left it at the door Questions like thunder Rolling in my head Still You just whisper “Child Come rest instead” [Chorus] Breathe on these bones again Wake up my silent heart You wrote my name In the dark with a spark I was wandering Wandering You were there from the start Breathe on these bones again Light up my aching heart [Bridge] I don’t need a perfect offering Just these shaking hands I bring (oh) If all I have is a broken hallelujah You turn it into singing [Chorus] Breathe on these bones again Wake up my silent heart You wrote my name In the dark with a spark I was wandering Wandering You were there from the start Breathe on these bones again Light up my aching heart
