Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

I've put my life in His hands
I've put my life in His hands

So every road I walk down
I'm sure is in His plan
'Cause I've put my life in His hands

He holds the stars in the sky
He holds the land back from the sea
If He can do all of that
Surely he can take care
Of you and me

He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control

He's got it all in control

God's got it all in control
He's got all in control
