From Psalm 139:9-10: “If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me fast.”
Story of doomed community
Losing its way, darkness surrounds
Hunger fueling gang violence
Crying out, injustice abounds
Life crushed in spirit, wandering
Wrecking faith, living defeated
Racism walks with extremism
Bringing sin’s death, feeling cheated
From dark despair, running away
Running to us, God with His grace
Love and mercy fill empty cups
Accepting His gift, let’s embrace
God’s right hand covers this land
Striking out envy, hate, and greed
Spirit finds us lost in life’s fog
Plowing under each sin-filled seed
Chaos no longer shatters dreams
Offering true, forgiving peace
God’s right hand, never grows weary
Lifting up lives, shall never cease
From Psalm 89:13-14: “You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, high Your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before You.”
