I know your name
I hold your fate
I am the one who created you
I own the world
Yes, it's all mine
So why won't you let me carry you
You won't have to worry
You'll never worry
If you just rest and trust in me
Always remember that I am in control
For I am God
And I shall stand the test of time
[Chorus:]
Now we hear the waters roar
And we see the rainbow snile across the sky
We even smell the trees
And we feel the wind blow as it passes by
Every mountain, every valley
Every star above our head
Should remind us of the one who is in control
For He is God
And He shall stand the test of time
I know your pain
I know your faults
But still I'm here to comfort you
I've seen your ups
I've seen you downs
But it never stopped me from loving you
You won't have to worry
You'll never worry
If you just rest and trust in me
Always remember that I am in control
For I am God and I shall stand the test of time
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Come unto Me
I'll give you peace
And when will you see I'm all you need
[Chorus]
[Vamp:]
I know He'll stand
The test of time [Repeat out]
