The Pillars Rest in Your Hands

[Intro - Acoustic guitar alone; bass and piano enter] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] We give thanks because You're near us, All Your wonders tell Your name; When the earth is coming loose, Lord, You uphold its trembling frame. You have set a time for judgment, You will weigh the people right; Let no boastful strength rise proudly, Let no stiff neck challenge might. [Chorus - Duet and choir] The pillars rest in Your hands, No proud throne can make them stand; Not the east or west can raise us, You are Judge of every land. You bring down and You lift up, You alone will weigh our days; The pillars rest in Your hands, God of Jacob, hear our praise. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] There is judgment in Your keeping, Like a cup the wicked drain; All the bitter dregs of evil Cannot vanish with a claim. You will break the horns of boasting, All the wicked power laid low; You will lift the strength of justice, Let the righteous rise and grow. [Instrumental Break - Banjo and fiddle; harmonica; sax; slide; piano] [Bridge - Duet, guitar and organ] [Bubba] We will tell Your works forever, [Darlene] Sing the God of Jacob's name. [Bubba] All the hour of judgment is Yours, [Darlene] All the honor we proclaim. [Both] Let the strength we lift be righteous, Let our gratitude be true; All the ground beneath our singing Is upheld, O God, by You. [Final Chorus - Duet and full choir] The pillars rest in Your hands, No proud throne can make them stand; Not the east or west can raise us, You are Judge of every land. You bring down and You lift up, You alone will weigh our days; The pillars rest in Your hands, God of Jacob, hear our praise. [Outro - Full band, then voices alone] All the earth within Your keeping, All our thanks before Your throne.
