Nations, they rage against and vainly conspire
Setting themselves against Your glory, oh God
How long will You consider all the threats
And enable Your church to speak Your words with confidence
We're lifting holy hands in prayer
For boldness to declare
Your words, oh God of fire
The power of Your hand
Stretch out Your hand and heal the sick and diseased
Stretch out Your hand and set the prisoners free
God, establish Your rule and reign wherever You go
'Til the kingdoms of earth become the kingdoms of our Lord
