(Hebrews 1:3; Matthew 10:29, 6:34)

Hearts are failing left and right
Children fear this planet's plight
Fatalistic fears abound
And take their toll without a sound
But through the vague uncertainty — comes a bold assurity
This world is under sovereignty — divinely ordered destiny
He holds this world together with the world of His power
Safe within His hands — Till its own appointed hour

Humanistic lies lament
The holocaust is imminent
Doomsday prophets in the news
Predicting who will light the fuse
The fate of His creation isn't subject to a man
The final consummation is according to his plan

And He's still got the whole world in His hands — tonight
And only He knows where the sparrow lands — tonight
And nothing in this world can stop His plans — tonight
'Cause He's still got the whole world in His hands
In His hands tonight

He's got the whole world in His hands
He's still got you and me in His hands tonight

And He's still got the whole world in His hands — tonight
And only He knows where the sparrow lands — tonight
And nothing in this world can stop His plans — tonight
'Cause He's still got the whole world in His hands
In His hands tonight

He's got the whole world tonight in His hands
Tonight
He's got the whole world in his hands
Tonight
He's got the whole world in His hands
