Verse 1:
In my fathers hand, I am called to live
That's the savest hand, that life can give
You will take our hearts, all of them renew
And bring the broken parts in peace with you
Refrain:
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
God alone, he is my sword and shield
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
The sun shines on the flowers in his field
Verse 2:
In my fathers hand, joyful I can be
So generous your hand, lord, is to me
It's tender and forgiving, it never loses touch
My life is worth living, you gave much
Refrain:
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
God alone, he is my sword and shield
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
The sun shines on the flowers in his field
Verse 3:
In my fathers hand, I can also cry
And wait until the thunder passes by
Once a mob of sinners pierced that hand with nails
The cross was then the winner and prevails
Refrain:
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
God alone, he is my sword and shield
When I'm near my savior
Peace my heart can find
The sun shines on the flowers in his field
