In His Hands
O how the mighty nations fall
And give way to one another
Because they’ve lost the fear of God
And do not love their brothers
They take the bible out of schools
And teach their own ideas
About what goodness means to them
And how they seek to please us
While evildoers go about
Succeeding in their ways
All law and justice fall aside
To all the things they crave
But though they don’t remember God
To give Him praise and glory
The fact remains their end is near
And He will write their story
All power is still in His hands
He lets us make our choices
But all the glory goes to God
I heard the angel’s voices
They said: Jesus is the Lord!
