Every Mile, You Were There

Title: "There Was Jesus in the Dust"

Verse 1

I kicked up gravel on an old back road,

With a heart too tired to dream.

The map in my hands couldn't tell me

What tomorrow really means.

I watched the fence posts pass like memories,

Each one marked by time.

Looking for a place to catch my breath,

Before I left it all behind.

Pre-Chorus

Then the wind moved through the wheat fields,

Like a whisper calling my name.

I didn't see forever...

But I knew I'd never be the same.

Chorus

There was Jesus in the dust,

On every road I thought I'd lost.

In every mile of broken plans,

He never let go of my hand.

There was mercy in the silence,

There was hope inside the pain.

Every step I thought was wasted

Was leading me to grace.

Looking back, I finally see...

There was Jesus in the dust.

Verse 2

A worn-out cross beside the highway

Caught the morning light.

It didn't say a single word,

But somehow it made things right.

The fields kept stretching toward the sunrise,

Like promises still true.

I realized the road I'd feared the most

Was bringing me to You.

Pre-Chorus

Some answers come like thunder,

Some arrive so quietly.

Love was working all along...

Even when I couldn't see.

Chorus

There was Jesus in the dust,

On every road I thought I'd lost.

In every mile of broken plans,

He never let go of my hand.

There was mercy in the silence,

There was hope inside the pain.

Every step I thought was wasted

Was leading me to grace.

Looking back, I finally see...

There was Jesus in the dust.

Bridge

Not every miracle is loud,

Not every blessing shines.

Sometimes Heaven meets us

Between the ordinary lines.

One small prayer,

One faithful step...

Can change a lifetime yet.

Final Chorus

There was Jesus in the dust,

In every valley, every climb.

He turned my wandering footsteps

Into purpose over time.

Now every sunrise reminds me

His love has always been enough.

From the first breath of mercy...

To the final road of trust.

Looking back across my story...

There was Jesus in the dust.

Outro

Every mile...

Every sunrise...

Every heartbeat...

You were there.
