Verse

In my fathers hand, I am called to live.

you will take our hearts, all of them renew
D A Bm
and bring the broken parts in peace with you.
Chorus:

When I'm near my savior,
F#m Bm
peace my heart can find.

God alone, he is my sword and shield.

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.
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.
Note: The original song seems to be tuned half-step down (with C#m, B, G#m, E)
