Hammers & Strings (Acoustic)

There's an old piano

That sits in my house

Grew up with me

And the places we've been about

Been out of tune

For a couple of decades now

I don't mind

Because that's just the way it sounds

These hammers and strings

Have been forming since I was young

They've accompanied every melody I've heard of Your love

As the years have come

And they will go

These hammers and strings

Have always felt like home

There's a room

In my Grandma's house

Where my Papa would sing

With his guitar out

And we'd all gather round

There are tear-stained pages

On his desk

Where he'd read Your Word

And pray blessings on his house

These hammers and strings

Have been forming since I was young

They've accompanied every melody I've heard of Your love

As the years have come

And they will go

These hammers and strings

Have always felt like home

And I've wrote these songs in the darkest of nights

And I've chased them down the interstate lines

Every word, every line

Every thought, every rhyme leads me back to You

And with every new song that I'm still to sing

May I feel Your presence singing over me

Every chord, every beat of these hammers and strings

Lead me back to you

These hammers and strings

Have been forming since I was young

They've accompanied every melody I've heard of Your love

As the years have come

And they will go

These hammers and strings

Will always feel like home
