Josiah Queen's song 'Dusty Bibles' reflects on spiritual complacency in a modern, distracted world. The lyrics contrast neglected faith—symbolized by dust-covered Bibles—with the allure of new iPhones and busyness. The singer longs for a past season of deeper connection with God and a friend, confessing a struggle to find peace. He resolves to abandon idols and complacency, choosing to live fully in God's light. The song challenges listeners to examine their priorities and renew their devotion, echoing themes of repentance and surrender found in passages like James 4:8.

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
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
