Strengthen the hands that are feeble Steady the knees that are weak Say to the ones who are fearfull Your God is full of strength Deliver the poor and the needy Defend the widow and the child Come with divine retribution And save us from this mire Chorus: Then will the eyes of the blind be opened Then will the ears of the deaf hear Then will the tongue of the mute shout for joy And the lame will leap like a deer Verse 2: Cause us to be a shelter from the winds Lord For those who stand in the sand Like streams of water in the desert in a dry and thirsty land Cause us to reach for the broken extend a hand to the lost May we pray without ceasing intercede at all cost
