Song of Hannah: a Hymn of Hope and Resistance
(from 1 Samuel 2: 1-10) Word adaptation and music by David Kai
Chorus:
There is no one holy as our God
There are none who can compare
There is no rock stronger than our God
The One who hears our ev’ry prayer
The bows of the warriors will lie broken
But the broken will now take on new power
Those who once were full will search for daily bread
The hungry ones will feast in that great hour
Chorus:
The wicked and the boastful shall be silenced
It is not by strength that one prevails
The arrogant and proud will be found wanting
The justice of our God will never fail
Chorus:
The humble poor are raised up from the ashes
And seated on the honoured thrones on high
Our God will guard the paths of the faithful
And judge all from the ends of earth and sky
Chorus:
Tag: The One who hears our ev’ry prayer.
