God's Righteous Right Hand

(may be sung to the tune Chariots of Fire
from the movie of the same name)

Mankind is upheld by
God’s righteous right hand;
sweet peace Jesus promised
our rest He has planned.

Who shows us the pathway?
Who brings mercy’s hope?
It’s He who delivers
when we cannot cope.  

     Lord Sovereign, the world's at your command 
     by Your sacrifice;
     Oh, Master, help us, to understand
     why You paid the price.     

It’s Christ who will answer
when we hope and pray;
His word says He’ll guard us
if we will obey.

Our Savior, all hands raise.
To hope, You bring sight.
Christ Jesus, we praise you
for You are the light.
 
     Lord Sovereign, the world's at your command 
     by Your sacrifice;
     Oh, Master, help us, to understand
     why You paid the price.
