How to fear the Lord’s strong hand
That seeks to do me good
When dark foes throughout the land
Don’t fear him as they should.
How audacious is their plan?
They strive. They war. They kill.
Disrespecting every man
Who seeks to do thy will.
Punishing your children far
And wide and close to home,
Oft’ I wonder where you are
And why you let them roam.
Lord, I know some future day
Your justice will cry out.
Why do you not show today
That these men you will rout?
Lord, I find it hard to fear
You when your works aren’t seen.
Let me see that you are near
With just and loving mien.
Let me know the wicked foes
Are under your control
And your loving justice grows
To make the broken whole.
Teach me how to fear a’right
And live so you I please.
As you then for justice fight,
I’ll live down on my knees.
