Aaron Shust's song "In Command" is a contemporary worship piece that reassures believers of God's sovereign control over all circumstances. The lyrics acknowledge life's instability, comparing it to shifting sand, yet affirm that God holds the whole world in His hands. Drawing on imagery of creation and the biblical account of the Red Sea, the song emphasizes God's unchanging power and care. It invites listeners to trust in His rule and reign, finding peace in His authority. The repeated refrain "Where else would we go?" echoes Peter's confession to Jesus, underscoring the conviction that only God offers true security and hope.

When all I've known moves under me like shifting sand
And I'm undone without a place where I can stand
The waves and the stars
Show me He's in command
I see His loving care within a baby's eyes
Revealing power when He tells the sun to rise
So much greater than me
He's in command
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
He's in command
He's in command
When those who came before me faced the mighty sea
And human weakness, terror, fear, anxiety
Your arm was strong to save
And You still haven't changed
You still haven't changed
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
He's in command
He's in command
Say what you will (He rules)
Say what you will (He reigns)
Say what you will (He sees)
Say what you will (He cares)
Say what you will (He rules)
Say what you will (He reigns)
Say what you will (He knows)
Say what you will (He lives)
Say what you will (He rules)
Say what you will (He reigns)
Say what you will (He sees)
Say what you will (He cares)
Say what you will (He rules)
Say what you will (He reigns)
Say what you will (He knows)
Say what you will
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
He's got the whole world in His hands
Where else would we go?
Where else would we go?
You're in command
You're in command
You're in command
You're in command
