Couplet 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

Refrain

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

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

Pont

Give thanks give thanks
For the Lord has heard your cry
Give thanks give thanks
For the Lord is on your side

Couplet 3

We will sing
On the day of trouble
Though we grieve
Every loss every harm
We will lean
When the mountains crumble
We will lean
On the everlasting arms

Refrain

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
