[Intro — Acoustic guitar, soft harmonica, brushed snare] [Bubba — spoken, male] You ever had somebody say, "I'm praying for you"? Well, Psalm twenty is a whole song of that kind of prayer. And it reminds us where our strength really comes from. [Verse 1 — Bubba, male] When trouble finds you on a hard-road day, May the Lord hear your cry and make a way. May the God of Jacob lift you high, Be your shelter underneath that sky. May He send you help from His holy place, Strength from Zion, mercy and grace. May He remember the gifts you've laid down, And hear that prayer when no one's around. [Verse 2 — Darlene, female] May He give you the hope that's in your heart, And guide each plan before it starts. We'll raise our banners when the good news comes, Lift up a song with the beating drums. Not for the glory of a mighty man, But for the faithful Lord whose promises stand. We will rejoice when His help shines through, And give all the praise to the One who's true. [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene, duet] Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, Some lean on the power this old world endorses. But we trust the name of the Lord our God, On the mountain road and the valley sod. When the proud fall down and their strength gives way, By His grace we'll stand and sing today. Raise that banner, let the whole world proclaim: We trust in the name, we trust in the name! [Instrumental — Tenor sax and electric guitar trade solos] [Harmonica answers; piano drives the shuffle] [Verse 3 — Bubba, male] Now I know the Lord will hear His chosen king, From His holy heaven, let His answer ring. It ain't the wheels or the horses that carry us through, It's the mighty right hand of the God who's true. They stumble and fall when their strength runs dry, But we rise and stand with our heads held high. Not bragging on the muscle in these two old hands, Just trusting the Lord when the hard wind lands. [Bridge — Organ and soft handclaps] [Darlene — female] O Lord, save the king; hear us when we call. Let Your mercy be greater than the fear of it all. [Bubba — male] When our plans get tangled and our courage grows thin, Teach our hearts to turn to Your name again. [Final Chorus — Full band, gospel choir, male-female duet] Some trust in chariots, some trust in horses, Some lean on the power this old world endorses. But we trust the name of the Lord our God, On the mountain road and the valley sod. When the proud fall down and their strength gives way, By His grace we'll stand and sing today. Raise that banner, let the whole world proclaim: We trust in the name, we trust in the name! [Outro — Darlene, female] May the Lord answer when we call! [Bubba — spoken, male] Amen. Now that's a mighty good place to stand. [End — Choir hit, sax flourish, harmonica and piano]
