Verse 1:
Who am I? Just a bag of dust puttin’ trust in the Most High/
Why boast? I know that I’m nothin’/
Huffin’ and puffin’ someone else’s air through my lungs/
‘Cause everything belongs to the Son/
That was hung up on the Cross/
Strung up for the lost/
Ya’ll know they slayed Him/
He rose from the grave, came to save, though they played Him/
Some hate Him, mocked Him, to the ground His blood spilled/
To this day they be dockin’ the things that got Him killed/
Shrilled and screamed knowing He’d redeem half the planet/
How could He stand in knowing He’d be taken for granted/
Disadvantaged became dust just like you and me/
Human beings just so He can put His deed at calvary/
Now how do we say thanks, better yet check how could He take it/
Despising all the shame being plain in sight—naked/
Crowned with thorns scorned by the unrighteous judges/
The King’s arms expands shook hands with death’s clutches/
Seal the deal kill one for all called it grace/
Meaning the Supreme Being would die in our place/
He was rich and became poor so that we through His poverty
Could become rich hit the lottery
Pottery is all I am in the hands of the maker
Just a custom of dust and plus the salt from the shaker
Meek and lowly Jesus preach we be holy
I gotta give the props to the potter who molds me
‘Cause dust…

Hook:
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from. Taken from the dust/
Dust is what I am that’s what I come from. You and me from the dust/
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from. God breathed from the dust/
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from. Yeah we from the dust/
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from. You and me from the dust/
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from. True indeed from the dust/
Dust is what I am that’s what I come from. Yeah we from the dust/
Dust is all I am that’s what I come from.

Verse 2:
I can’t lose I refuse to choose death over life/
I was done in then had a run in with Christ/
Now I’m freed what made Him bleed and cling to a tree/
And get nailed to the form of a lower case t/
No beatin’ around the bush the Rose of Sharon got crowned with thorns/
And was risen up on a third day morn/
Now it’s on, for anyone who’s got the time of day/
Let Him change ya act and ya scene just like a drama play/
I’ma say it once, twice, even a thousand times/
Every day of the year Jesus Christ be my valentine/
Who’s standin’ on faulty ground/
If you ain’t down then be salty now/
(Tell me) what do you see when you close your eyes/
What do you see when your life goes by/
Question for your next session with your cypha’/
Eternal lifa’ who’s God bring’s it hypa’/
Is it the God who spoke that spark this/
Reached into the abyss with His fist and pulled light out of darkness/
Mark this day and walk this way/
You want eternal life (well) then you ain’t got no cost to pay/
‘Cause Christ paid it all when His blood flooded the streets/
In the 199’s with the ruggedest beats/
we gets biz like show so ‘ey G. act like ya know/
tell me yo what made Him pay the debt that you owe/
Was it love? Unlike this world has ever seen before/
born I guess on the flesh that was torn/
Mourn for the Bright and the Morning Star who died for you/
‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do’ (ooh true) /
You’re missin’ His touch I tell ya this much/
He thirsted, cursed it, vinegar upon some hyssop/
now there’s ever livin’ water come place ya order/
I’ll pour out my spirit upon your sons and your daughters/
Before the times up come line up by the creek/
and bathe in the blood of the lamb as it leaks/
God speaks to dust and it becomes man/
Then He breathes on us and we become dust again.
‘Cause Dust
