Andrew Ripp's song 'Hands of God' is a powerful testimony of divine intervention during a crisis. The lyrics describe a moment of panic and helplessness, where the singer feels pinned down and unable to move, but then experiences God's rescue. The imagery of being picked up and rushed into a 'mercy room' conveys a sense of urgent, loving care. The song emphasizes that even when human efforts fail, God's healing touch reaches the deepest wounds. It's a song about faith, hope, and the assurance that God hears our cries and responds with compassion.

I could hear the sirens coming
I could see the flash of red and blue
Panic in air surrounding
Pinned to the floor and I couldn't move
Ooooo ooooo
Heaven must have heard me crying out
Ooooo ooooo
This is an emergency right now
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
Arms thrown back
They swore that
They'd done everything they could do
I felt the touch of the healer
Can't explain it but I know it's true
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
The stripes and the life saving blood
Let the healer into the deeper wounds
When I didn't have the strength to knock
You met me at the door
And carried me through
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
Arms thrown back
They swore that
They'd done everything they could do
I felt the touch of the healer
Can't explain it but I know it's true
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
Ooooo ooooo
Heaven must have heard me crying out
Ooooo ooooo
This is an emergency right now
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
Arms thrown back
They swore that
They'd done everything they could do
I felt the touch of the healer
Can't explain it but I know it's true
Hands of God
Picked me up
Rushed me into the mercy room
