WHEN ALL AROUND IS FADING
And nothing seems to last,
When each day is filled with sorrow,
Still I know with all my heart:
He’s got the whole world in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands,
I’ll fear no evil, for You are with me,
Strong to deliver, mighty to save.
He’s got the whole world in His hands.
When I walk through fire,
I will not be burned;
When the waves come crashing round me,
Still I know with all my heart:
Tim Hughes
