Dust on My Bible

[Intro]
Late night page flip
Coffee stain, thumbprint
Red letters in the margin
Heart heavy, still starvin' (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Used to keep my Bible in the bottom of the backpack
Only hit a verse when I felt I needed cash back
Treatin' You like credit, swipe faith, then I step back
Lost in my habits while I'm talkin' like I "got that"
Screens on my face more than Scripture in my mind
Scrollin' through the gossip while I'm sayin' I’m "divine"
I been postin' up a version of me that isn't mine
You been waitin' in the quiet just to call me "child" this time
[Chorus]
Still You walk on my waves when I’m sinkin'
Break my chains while my pride still’s thinkin'
You hung for my hate, for my doubt, for my distance
Gave up Your breath so I could keep livin'
This is the gospel of Jesus
Grace on repeat, I need it
From my mess to my knees, You see it
Love I can’t earn, I just receive it (I just receive it)
[Verse 2]
I been tryna bargain, "If I’m good, will You bless me?"
You been tryna tell me "It is done," still I stress it
You ain't in the ladder that I'm climbin' for acceptance
You bled for the broken, not the braggin' and the flexin'
Nails through the palms, yeah, the hands that formed the mountains
Blood on the wood like a stream, living fountain
Stone rolled back, and the fear started countin'
Empty tomb echo in my chest, still resoundin' (woah)
[Chorus]
Still You walk on my waves when I’m sinkin'
Break my chains while my pride still’s thinkin'
You hung for my hate, for my doubt, for my distance
Gave up Your breath so I could keep livin'
This is the gospel of Jesus
Grace on repeat, I need it
From my mess to my knees, You see it
Love I can’t earn, I just receive it (yeah, I receive it)
[Bridge]
From the couch with the bottle
To the pew, to the altar
To the car, late drive, when I whisper, "Our Father"
From the lie that I'm worthless
To the truth that I'm wanted
You don't bless my performance
You redeem what I started (hey)
[Chorus]
Still You walk on my waves when I’m sinkin'
Break my chains while my pride still’s thinkin'
You hung for my hate, for my doubt, for my distance
Gave up Your breath so I could keep livin'
This is the gospel of Jesus
Grace on repeat, I breathe it
In my doubt, in my dirt, You meet it
Love I can’t lose, I just believe it (I just believe it)

rap, Smoky lo-fi gospel rap: dusty piano loop, soft vinyl hiss, mellow boom-bap drums, warm sub, and chopped choir hums. Male vocals in an intimate, confessional tone; verses stay laid-back and conversational, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, subtle organ swells, and a gentle rise in energy. Roomy reverb on ad-libs, intimate close-mic on the lead., gospel, lo-fi
