When My Foot Was Slipping — Psalm 94

[Guitar intro] [Verse 1: Bubba] God of justice, rise and answer, How long will the cruel boast? Widows, strangers, children suffer; Proud men say You never know. You who made the ear can hear them, You who shaped the eye can see; All our empty thoughts lie open, Bring the proud to equity. [Chorus: duet] When my foot was slipping, Your mercy held me fast. When my thoughts were crowding, Your comfort came at last. You are my defense, Lord, the Rock where I can stand; Justice is not sleeping in Your righteous hand. [Verse 2: Darlene] Bless the one You teach and chasten, Schooling hearts within Your law. Give them rest through days of trouble, Till the wicked meet their fall. You will not forsake Your people, You will not discard Your own; Judgment shall return to justice, Upright hearts will follow home. [Harmonica solo] [Verse 3: Bubba] Who would stand against the violent? Without You I’d fade away. Can a throne that writes oppression Claim Your blessing on its ways? Though they sentence guiltless people, You will turn their evil back; You will end their wicked power, You will judge the deeds they stack. [Bridge: Darlene, bass only] Hear the weak, rebuke the mighty; Keep my heart beneath Your hand. [Final chorus: duet] When my foot was slipping, Your mercy held me fast. When my thoughts were crowding, Your comfort came at last. You are my defense, Lord, the Rock where I can stand; Justice is not sleeping in Your righteous hand.
