And Israel said of the Lord
He’s displeased with all our ways
God has turned His face away
Our sins obscure us from His holy gaze
And God said:

Can a mother forget her child
I will not forget you
If her love grows cold
Mine will never grow old
From beginning to end
By My grace you still stand
See—I have engraved you
On the palms of My hands

When all my hope fades away
And my fears take hold of me
When darkness falls upon my dreams
My soul cries out: Lord be not far from me
And God says:

Can a mother forget her child
I will not forget you
If your love grows cold
Mine will never grow old
From beginning to end
By My grace you still stand
See—I have engraved you
On the palms of My hands

Can a man rise from the grave
Can a country be born in a day
Is My arm too short to save
O lift up your eyes
And know I named each star in the sky
Do you think I don’t hear you when you cry

Can a mother forget her child
I will not forget you
If her love grows cold
Mine will never grow old
From beginning to end
By My grace you still stand
See—I have engraved you
On the palms of My hands
