Lyrics
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.
