[Verse 1]
Steel toes on
Sun just breaking
Mud on the jeans
Foundation shaking
Tape line chalked
Rebar in a row
Pray over the plans
Then it’s time to go
Walls go up where there once was dirt
Backs get tired
Yeah
Shoulders hurt
But every footing
Every slab they pour
Feels like writing scripture in the floor
[Chorus]
Branner on the rock
That’s how they stand
Name of Jesus written in their hands
From the first wet concrete
To the last dry block
Every hammer hit sings
Branner on the rock (on the rock, on the rock)
[Verse 2]
Danny Branner with his hard hat tilted
Eyes on the line
Make sure it’s level
Still is
Says
“We build it strong ‘cause He built us first”
Laughs with the crew
Wipes off the dirt and the thirst
They set those forms like a Sunday choir
Different voices
One holy fire
From country roads to big city lots
Same old faith in a God who never stops
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hands raised high over lifted loads
Bless this job and the open road
[low vocal register] If the rain comes down
And the wind talks tough
We got a Cornerstone
And that’s enough (that’s enough)
[crescendo]
Oh-oh
Singing out on the job site
Oh-oh
Every pour in the floodlight
Oh-oh
Every wall that we lock
We’re Branner on the rock
[Chorus]
