The Dust Was Settled

VERSE 1
We were formed from dust in Eden’s garden
The breath of life was given by God
It wasn’t long before our hearts had fallen
But we would be reclaimed by redeeming love

CHORUS
Even though the dust was troubled
Soon our lives would be restored
God didn’t leave us in the rubble
He gave us grace through our risen Lord
Sown in weakness raised in power
Glorified someday 
Calvary’s where the ground is level
And the cross is where this dust was settled

VERSE 2
We all came from dust and we’ll be returning
This clay is bound but our souls will soar
Jesus paved the way resurrection morning
For our spirits to receive their rich reward

CHORUS

TAG
Sown in weakness raised in power
Glorified someday 
Calvary’s where the ground is level
And the cross is where this dust was settled
