The beginning of the 1st verse is about the history of the Jews and how they have had no shelter for so long. But he then goes to say he is not after the land, sea, or the country, which would be Israel, but the shelter of God.
The 2nd verse is about adversity Jews have had to face in recent times. He ends it off though with a strong spirited "We will not" kind of thing.
I think the last verse is about fighting through the future and keep on fighting towards something. This could be God's shelter or to peace/tolerance.
The chorus is an old saying which is basically saying that means that forgetting Jerusalem is like not being able to use your prominent, in this case right, hand.
