Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Boots by the door

Bible on the table, still stained with beer

Dust in the sun

Same old chair I sank in every year

Ash in my lungs

Hands that shook from all the roads I chose

Name on a warrant

Heart like a prison where the good can't go

[Pre-Chorus]

But that old hymn cracked the silence

Floating through my neighbor's wall

Every mile of my missteps

Crawled back in that call (oh Lord)

[Chorus]

Now I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

Double-time heart beating under this skin

You broke those chains I thought I'd die in, hallelujah

I'm walking out free where the dark used to win

Happy in the hurt, there's peace in the scars

What was dead in me is breathing again

Now I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

And I ain't going back to who I been

[Verse 2]

That Sunday creek

Cold on my shoulders, washed me clean and shook

Mama in the third row

Crying with that old, worn Good Book

Choir like thunder

But soft as a whisper in my chest

Graveyard behind us

Names on stones, but my soul at rest

[Pre-Chorus]

Every lie I ever swallowed

Rose up like a drowning man

Then Your mercy hit me sharper

Than a worn-down preacher's hand (oh yeah)

[Chorus]

Now I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

Double-time heart beating under this skin

You broke those chains I thought I'd die in, hallelujah

I'm walking out free where the dark used to win

Happy in the hurt, there's peace in the scars

What was dead in me is breathing again

Now I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

And I ain't going back to who I been

[Bridge]

I was the wolf in Sunday clothing

I was the rust on every ring

You were the voice I kept ignoring

Till it tore right through my shame and sin

Now every breath feels like a blessing

Every sunrise like a hymn

[Chorus]

Now I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

Double-time heart beating under this skin

You broke those chains I thought I'd die in, hallelujah

I'm walking out free where the dark used to win

Happy in the hurt, there's peace in the scars

What was dead in me is breathing again

Yeah I'm saved by the dust and the cross, hallelujah

And I'm never going back to who I been
