Lyrics
We got dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones
No wonder why we feel this way
Hey, how you been?
It's been a while, and I'm just checking in
I miss the way things used to be back in 2017
And I just miss my friend
Hey, I've been fine
I've been struggling to find some peace of mind
It's the problem of our nation and in our generation
We're too busy and can't find the time
Are we busy, or is it all a lie?
We got dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones
No wonder why we feel this way
We walk with our eyes closed, blind leading blind folks
And I'm done with those idols and dusty Bibles
You only get this one life
I don't wanna sit and watch it pass me by
I'm so done being complacent, there ain't no replacement
For a life in the light of your way
Oh, I'm done, had enough of my way
With dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones
No wonder why we feel this way
We walk with our eyes closed, blind leading blind folks
And I'm done with those idols and dusty Bibles
I miss the way things used to be back in 2017
And I just miss my friend
Oh, I just miss my friend
We got dust on our Bibles, brand-new iPhones
No wonder why we feel this way
We walk with our eyes closed, blind leading blind folks
I'm done with those idols and dusty Bibles

In our fast-paced, screen-filled world, we often trade deep peace and intimacy with God for endless distractions. Yet, Scripture remains an open invitation to true rest and clarity. Returning to God's Word isn't about guilt—it's about rediscovering the loving Friend who has been patiently waiting for us all along. Today, take a quiet moment to clear away the noise and pull close to the One who guides our every step.
