Dust on the Ground by Emily Brimlow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been caught red-handed
Would you lock me up in Your hands and never abandon me again?
I've been callin' out Your name in the storm
Can You hear me in the rain as it's pourin' on the streets?
Feel like I've been sittin' here for weeks
Waitin' on a miracle or somebody to preach to my heart
Hasn't reached to my soul, whoa-oh
As I was sittin' there damaged (Oooo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
Then You came with your arms wrapped around me like a bandage
How can I thank You for what You've done? (Oooo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
A payment is equivalent to a half grain of sand
And all I can do is thank You 'cause the matter of fact is (Oooo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
He paid all my debts by the grace of the Son (Oooo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
The grace of the So-on
[Chorus 1]
If I was a slave
If I was a slave, if I was a slave
If I was chained
If I was chained, if I was cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
Cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
[Verse 2]
I've got nothin' to repay You
Besides my life laid down as a tribute
I hope it continues from Rome to Japan
No matter the distance I'll follow Your plan
Rule and a reign and a fortune and fame
Preacher or poor, no matter the name
It don't phase me (Oooo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
'Cause only You phase me
[Chorus 1]
If I was a slave
If I was a slave, if I was a slave
If I was chained
If I was chained, if I was cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
Cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
[Chorus 2]
If I was chained
Let me be chained to Your love
If I was a slave
Let me be a slave for the kingdom come
And if I was imprisoned
Sentence me for a million years in the glory
In the glory
[Bridge]
I am no-o-othin' (Nothin')
Without You, without You (Without You, without You)
I am no-o-othin' (Nothin')
Without You, without You (Without You, without You)
I am no-o-othin' (Nothin')
Without You, without You (Without You, without You)
I'm just dust on the ground
Dust on the ground
[Chorus 1]
If I was a slave
If I was a slave, if I was a slave
If I was chained
If I was chained, if I was cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
Cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
[Chorus 2]
If I was chained
Let me be chained to Your love
If I was a slave
Let me be a slave for the kingdom come (Kingdom co-o-o-ome)
And if I was imprisoned
Sentence me for a million years in the glory
In the glory
(Oooo, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
I've been caught red-handed
Would you lock me up in Your hands and never abandon me again?
I've been callin' out Your name in the storm
Can You hear me in the rain as it's pourin' on the streets?
Feel like I've been sittin' here for weeks
Waitin' on a miracle or somebody to preach to my heart

[Chorus 1]
If I was a slave
If I was a slave, if I was a slave
If I was chained
If I was chained, if I was cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
Cha-a-a-ained (Oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)

In the glory
(Oooo, oo-ma-nah, oo-ma-nah)
