Cinematic Buildup Intro

Soul, wake up—count every kindness

Don’t let shame edit the evidence

Verse

My soul is an archivist of damage

Files every fracture under my name

But grace keeps redacting the indictment

Till the page no longer reads the same

You tend the places pain made private

Turn the pit from address into past

You meet the hollow underneath my wanting

Till the craving finally loosens its grasp

Pre-Chorus

Count it, soul—don’t crop the evidence

Mercy never left the frame

Slow to anger, deep in tenderness

You don’t keep a file of shame

Chorus

You put a crown on the dust

Love where the sentence once was

You know exactly what we’re made of

Still You are gentle with us

You move our wrong out of reach

Farther than west is from east

Soul, don’t forget—this is love

You put a crown on the dust

Verse

You don’t confuse applause with being righteous

You hear the bruise beneath the tailored sleeve

Every muted story has a witness

You take the side the powerful won’t see

You showed Moses more than signs and wonders

Let him learn the rhythm of Your ways

Patient with the dirt beneath our fingernails

Love that outlives wildflower days

Pre-Chorus

Count it, soul—don’t crop the evidence

Mercy never left the frame

Slow to anger, deep in tenderness

You don’t keep a file of shame

Chorus

You put a crown on the dust

Love where the sentence once was

You know exactly what we’re made of

Still You are gentle with us

You move our wrong out of reach

Farther than west is from east

Soul, don’t forget—this is love

You put a crown on the dust

Bridge

You know the tremor underneath my practiced face

You know the weather written in my frame

I am grass; one wind can erase my shape

Still Your love keeps pronouncing my name

Final Chorus

You put a crown on the dust

Love where the sentence once was

You know exactly what we’re made of

Still You are gentle with us

You move our wrong out of reach

Farther than west is from east

We won’t forget—this is love

You put a crown on the dust
