In Your hands, I know he

Could be a man of peace

So take him now, and lead him on

And though the world would try to tear him down,

Only You can make him strong.



Chains of doubt,

And chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith.

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light.

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give.

It's in the giving he receives.

His pardon is in the pardoning.

And in dying he's born again to live.



In the sound of Your voice

He has finally found his joy.

So shine through him, and let him shine

With the light you lit within him

That shadows cannot bind.



Chains of doubt,

Chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith.

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light.

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give.

It's in the giving he receives.

His pardon is in the pardoning.

And in dying he's born again to live.



Chains of doubt,

And chains of hate

Never stop a man whose love is free

To sow the seeds of faith.

All the despair of the darkest night

Can't keep his hope from turning this world

Toward the morning light.

I know this world will never understand

Or return the love that he's been born to give.

It's in the giving he receives.

His pardon is in the pardoning.

And in dying he's born again to live.

In Your hands.

In Your hands.
