God's Righteous Right Hand

(can 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 He has promised our rest He has planned. Who shows us the pathway? Who brings mercy’s hope? It’s God 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 God 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.
