Lift Up Thine Hand (Hymn Core Music) ✝

[Brief Intro] [Verse 1] Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? [Verse 2] Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and thy power? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still thy saints devour? [Prechorus] They put thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. [Chorus] Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 5] Why do the men of malice rage, And say, with foolish pride, "The God of heav'n will ne'er engage To fight on Zion's side?" [Verse 6] But thou for ever art our Lord; And powerful is thine hand, As when the heathens felt thy sword, And perished from thy land. [Prechorus] They put thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. [Chorus] Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 7] Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause thine ear to hear; He hearkens what his children say, And puts the world in fear. [Verse 8] Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. [Prechorus] They put thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. [Chorus] [Outro] Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. [Instrumentall Outro]
