Pillars
Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm witty, good company
I'm as pretty as a pillar of salt
If I look back, who will I see
Staring back at me
Samson said to Delilah
Do you wanna come over
I think I'm falling for ya
His strength couldn't
Outsmart her scissors
So she cut him down
The smartest players are winners
I'm silly, not willing
To be the one that you hold on the side
I, I'm trying not to try
David, the boy who slayed Goliath
Had nothing but luck
And pretty good aim
The smallest ones will always triumph
Until they lie in the bed of sin
That they made




La la la la la la la
La la la la la la

Overall Meaning

In Grace Givertz's song Pillar of Salt, the singer describes herself as an attractive and interesting person, but also suggests that she is not without flaws. Using the Biblical story of Lot's wife (who turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at the city she was leaving), the singer compares herself to a pillar of salt - beautiful, but ultimately trapped in her own past. The line "If I look back, who will I see/Staring back at me?" suggests that the singer is struggling to move on from a previous relationship or experience.


The lyrics also reference the stories of Samson and Delilah, as well as David and Goliath. Through these Biblical illustrations, the singer seems to be suggesting that even the most powerful and intelligent individuals can be taken down by their weaknesses, whether it be physical desire or pride. The line "The smallest ones will always triumph/Until they lie in the bed of sin/That they made" points toward the idea that those who are humble and unassuming may ultimately find themselves facing their own downfall as a result of their actions.


This song is a poignant reminder of the ways in which our own flaws and desires can limit us, and the importance of looking forward rather than getting stuck in our pasts. It is a subtle yet powerful commentary on human nature and the complexities of our relationships with one another.

Thank God for the godly men He has raised up throughout history to proclaim His truths with great power by the Holy Spirit! This pre-conference is going to be an edifying initial teaching of the Reformation Era. I am excited for so much more.

Thank you for this, Ligonier Ministries! You are really doing Godʼs will by helping the world know more about the Lord Jesus Christ through the faithful preaching of the Word and the history of His church.

May the church move mightily with the Gospel by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ; by the grace of the Holy Spirit, all for the glory of God the Father.

God bless all of you!

I had to write it down to see it. Yes, I like these choice of words more than the ones in the original TULIP. Makes more sense to me. Thank you!

God’s grace didn’t get us going then leave us to get by on our works. Grace didn’t just justify us in the past, it sustains us in the present and will deliver us in the future.
