🎶 Lyrics (Based on Psalm 94:1–23)

Verse 1 (Psalm 94:1–7)

O God of justice, rise and shine,

Judge of the earth, Your power divine.

The proud and wicked boast and kill,

But You, O Lord, are sovereign still.

Chorus (Psalm 94:17–19, 22)

If the Lord had not been near,

My soul would drown in doubt and fear.

But when I cried, You held my hand —

My Rock, my Fortress, here I stand.

Verse 2 (Psalm 94:8–15)

You see, You hear, You surely know,

The thoughts of man, how short they go.

Blessed is the one whom You correct,

Whom You instruct and shield, protect.

Bridge (Psalm 94:16–21)

Who will rise for me against the wrong?

The Lord is near, my strength, my song.

Though evil plots and rulers fall,

The Judge of all still hears our call.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

Your comfort cheers my troubled soul,

Your justice, Lord, will make us whole.

You won’t forsake, You won’t delay —

Our refuge strong, our saving way!
