In Your hands, I know he Could be a man of peace So take him now, and lead him on And though the world would try to tear him down, Only You can make him strong. Chains of doubt, And chains of hate Never stop a man whose love is free To sow the seeds of faith. All the despair of the darkest night Can't keep his hope from turning this world Toward the morning light. I know this world will never understand Or return the love that he's been born to give. It's in the giving he receives. His pardon is in the pardoning. And in dying he's born again to live. In the sound of Your voice He has finally found his joy. So shine through him, and let him shine With the light you lit within him That shadows cannot bind. Chains of doubt, Chains of hate Never stop a man whose love is free To sow the seeds of faith. All the despair of the darkest night Can't keep his hope from turning this world Toward the morning light. I know this world will never understand Or return the love that he's been born to give. It's in the giving he receives. His pardon is in the pardoning. And in dying he's born again to live.
