What I’ve Got
Big Daddy Weave's song celebrates the peace, joy, faith, and hope that come from God, not from the world. The lyrics emphasize that these spiritual gifts are secure because they are given by God and cannot be taken away by circumstances. The song contrasts temporary worldly concerns with the eternal, unchanging nature of God, who is described as 'now and always.' It encourages believers to walk by faith and keep their minds on heaven, finding strength in God's constant presence.
I've got peace like a river
Flowing from the heart of the Giver
Greater than my mind can understand
I've got joy overflowing
It grows from the gladness of knowing
My life is resting in Your hands
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always
You are now and always
Now and always
Now and always
I've got faith to move mountains
It flows from unstoppable fountains
A source that never will run dry
I've got hope that keeps burning
Through the laughter and hurting
Heaven's always on my mind
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always
You are now and always
Now and always
Now and always
If the world didn't give it to me
Then the world can't take it away
I'm less impressed with this world's mess
These feet are gonna walk by faith
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always
You are now and always
Now and always
Now and always
You were always
You were always
You were now and always
You were now and always
