While The Nations Rage

"Why do the nations rage 
Why do they plot and scheme
Their bullets can't stop the prayers we pray 
In the name of the Prince of Peace 
We walk in faith and remember long ago 
How they killed Him and then how on the third day He arose 
Well things may look bad 
And things may look grim 
But all these things must pass except the things that are of Him 

Where are the nails that pierced His hands
Well the nails have turned to rust 
But behold the Man 
He is risen 
And He reigns 
In the hearts of the children 
Rising up in His name 
Where are the thorns that drew His blood
Well the thorns have turned to dust 
But not so the love 
He has given 
No it remains 
In the hearts of the children 
Who will love while the nations rage 

The Lord in Heaven laughs 
He knows what is to come 
While all the chiefs of state plan their big attacks 
Against His anointed One 
The Church of God she will not bend her knees 
To the gods of this world though they promise her peace 
She stands her ground 
Stands firm on the Rock 
Watch their walls tumble down when she lives out His love 

Where are the nails that pierced His hands 
Well the nails have turned to rust 
But not so the Man 
He is risen 
And He reigns 
In the hearts of the children 
Rising up in His name 
Where are the thorns that drew His blood
Well the thorns have turned to dust 
But behold the love 
He has given 
It remains 
In the hearts of the children 
Who will love while the nations rage 
While the nations rage 

Well where are the nails that pierced His hands
Well the nails have turned to rust 
But behold the Man 
He is risen 
And He reigns 
In the hearts of the children 
Rising up in His name 
Where are the thorns that drew His blood
Well the thorns have turned to dust 
But not so the love 
He has given 
Oh it remains 
In the hearts of the children 
Who will love while the nations rage"
