The Lord we are Your children
Chosen and called by Your name
With one heart and purpose we gather
To glorify You and proclaim

That You Lord are our sure foundation
We will not be afraid
When the storm comes we will not be shaken
For by your hand we are saved
O by your hand we are saved

(Repeat verse and chorus)

For by your hand we are saved

For by your hand we are saved
For by your hand we are saved
