God Is On Your Side

Verse 1

Where is God when the world is broken
When it feels like the night has won?
Can we wait just a little longer
Wait for the breaking dawn?

Chorus

God is on the side of the afflicted
God is on the side of the oppressed
He will carry justice to the victim
He will give His weary children rest
He upholds the cause of all the needy
There is not a wrong He won’t set right
Oh, friend, put your hope in Him
God is on your side

Verse 2

Where is God when our joy is stolen
When our peace, it is nowhere to be found?
Can we trust in Your kingdom coming
Oh, trust that it’s coming now?

Chorus

God is on the side of the afflicted
God is on the side of the oppressed
He will carry justice to the victim
He will give His weary children rest
He upholds the cause of all the needy
There is not a wrong He won’t set right
Oh, friend, put your hope in Him
God is on your side

Bridge

Give thanks, Give thanks, for the Lord has heard your cry
Give thanks, Give thanks, for the Lord is on your side [Repeat x3]

Verse 3

We will sing on the day of trouble
Though we grieve ev'ry loss, ev'ry harm
We will lean when the mountains crumble
We will lean on the everlasting arms

Chorus

God is on the side of the afflicted
God is on the side of the oppressed
He will carry justice to the victim
He will give His weary children rest
He upholds the cause of all the needy
There is not a wrong He won’t set right
Oh, friend, put your hope in Him
God is on your side
