HAND IN HAND

1. When I consider God's design,
raging seas and searing sand,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when all creation joins in praise,
hand in hand, hand in hand.
All creation joins in praise,
hand in hand.

2. When I consider Jesus Christ,
beaten, killed and broken man,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when broken people come to him,
hand in hand, hand in hand.
Broken people come to him,
hand in hand.

3. When I consider human kind,
feuding tribes from every land,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when black and white return to Christ,
hand in hand, hand in hand.
Black and white return to Christ,
hand in hand.

4. When I consider God's own church,
sinful sort of saintly band,
I hold my breath,
but even more, I stand in awe
when sinners come to share God's meal,
hand in hand, hand in hand.
Sinners come to share God's meal,
hand in hand.
