Verse 1 Sun ain’t up but I’m already rollin’ Steel toes hit that cold hard ground Coffee black and the truck light glowin’ Another day just to hold it down Calloused hands and a worn-out Bible Dust on my boots, pride in my name But somewhere between the job and survival I forgot why I’m in this game ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’ve been buildin’ fences I’ve been stackin’ stone But I can’t help wonderin’ What I’ve built at home ⸻ Chorus (Big Gospel Lift) Give me strong hands, Lord But a humble heart Don’t let this working man Tear his world apart I don’t wanna rule with fear I don’t wanna walk alone Teach me how to lead my house From my knees before Your throne Strong hands Humble heart Surrendered from the start ⸻ Verse 2 Daddy worked till his back was broken Didn’t say much, just paid the bills Love was somethin’ rarely spoken Hard as iron, cold as steel I swore I’d be a little different But I feel that edge inside When the pressure hits and I get distant And I let my temper ride ⸻ Pre-Chorus Sometimes I go silent Sometimes I clamp down Sometimes I’m the king With a paper crown ⸻ Chorus (Full Band, Choir Behind It) Give me strong hands, Lord But a humble heart Don’t let this working man Tear his world apart I don’t need control I just need Your grace Teach me how to stand like a man And still bow my face Strong hands Humble heart Surrendered from the start ⸻ Blues Drop (Music strips down — slide guitar, kick drum, low bass) Yeah… Genesis said work it… keep it… Tend that ground you’re standin’ on But I been driftin’… I been sleepin’ Thinkin’ I was strong Micah said walk humbly Do what’s right, love mercy too But pride’s a snake in a working man And it bites before you knew So break me down, Lord If that’s what it takes Better a cracked foundation Than a house that faith can’t shake ⸻ Build Back Up (Choir enters softly) I don’t wanna multiply anger I don’t wanna hand down shame I wanna raise up sons and daughters Who ain’t afraid to say Your name ⸻ Final Chorus (Huge Gospel Finish) Give me strong hands, Lord But a humble heart Make this working man Who You say we are Mind and spirit Family strong Brothers standin’ side by side Singin’ redemption songs Strong hands Humble heart Surrendered from the start ⸻ Outro (Stripped back, almost spoken) Boots by the door Bible on the dash If I’m gonna build anything that lasts It starts right here In the dark Strong hands… Humble heart.

STRONG HANDS, HUMBLE HEART
