mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Verse 1:[Production Cue: Subtle string pads and a quiet, rhythmic pulse enter. Vocal delivery is thoughtful and reflective.] Unless the Lord builds the house, The builders labor in vain, Unless the Lord watches over the city, The guards stand watch in vain. Chorus: Walls may fall, and gates may break, Darkness rises, no mistake. But His hand, a mighty shield, Keeps our city safe, revealed. Verse 2:[Production Cue: Tempo slows slightly. Instrumentation becomes sparse – perhaps just piano or acoustic guitar. Vocal delivery is more vulnerable and emotional. A sense of reflection.] Children are a heritage from the Lord, Offspring a reward from Him, Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, Blessed is the one whose quiver is full. 1[0 seconds] Chorus: Walls may fall, and gates may break, Darkness rises, no mistake. But His hand, a mighty shield, Keeps our city safe, revealed. Bridge: They will not be put to shame, When they contend with their opponents, For the Lord is their strength and shield, In His love, we are fulfilled. Chorus:[Production Cue: Final chorus. Group vocals return, with even greater power. Melody may rise slightly at the end. All instruments build to a crescendo.] In vain you rise early and stay up late, Toiling for food to eat, For He grants sleep to those He loves, In His rest, we find our peace.
