In His Hands


Look on the suffering savior
With the nails piercing His hands
He is full propitiation
He fulfills the law's demands
The sin bearer bore our penalty
When for His own He died
God His Father sees the woundings
And is fully satisfied.

But though they tore this temple down
He raised it in three days
In the carpenter's mighty hand
True power He displays
In meekness He laid down his life
But in Glory He arose
Now regard the nail-scars in His hands
From which love and mercy flows

Look upon the revelation
Of the Sovereign glorified
With a voice-cry like trumpet
Flowing hair and glowing eyes
In the midst of seven lamp stands
Seven stars in his right hand
He is holding His beloved
Who have followed His command

He has the whole world in His hands
The sovereign wields the word
He raises high his holy stars
He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Look upon the living one
The first and the last authority
The alpha and omega
He is holding Davids key 
As He holds the keys to life and death
Heaven's Kingdom he will plant
He will rule the New Jerusalem,
For He fulfills the covenant

He has the whole world in His hands
The sovereign wields the word
He is the door who holds the keys,
He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Look now upon the warrior
Who is wielding Judgments sword
He is clothed in bloodstained garments
The agent of Gods wrath outpoured
This lamb slain from the worlds foundation
Here is the worthy one revealed
He alone has the authority
To break open Judgments seals

He has the whole world in His hands
The sovereign wields the word
He raises high his two edged blade
He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

Revelation 1:16-18; 3:7
