Stars In The Sky

Handing over control starts the first verse: "Take the sun, take the moon, take the earth and watch it move under Your control, 'cause You're all I know." Kari Jobe then offers her own life the same way, "here's my life and all my heart, I give it all but every part is under Your control."

The chorus reasons from the sky to the heart. "The stars in the sky will hang there 'til You tell them to; the faith in my heart will still sing of what Your love can do." That is the logic of Psalm 148:5, where the heavenly bodies exist because God commanded them, and Isaiah 40:26, which tells people to look up at the stars. Even when "life weighs heavy on me," she says, "I know You're in control and You're all I need."

The second verse moves to the sea and tide, "giving praise to You, always praising You," and the bridge lists the weather: "the clouds will rain, the seasons change, 'cause You told them to," a promise like Genesis 8:22. "When You speak Your words through my soul, so I know it's true, You're in control" closes the thought before the last chorus.
