Petra's song 'Whole World' is a Christian rock anthem that reassures listeners of God's sovereign control over the world. Drawing from Hebrews 1:3 and other scriptures, the lyrics contrast widespread fears about the planet's future with the confident truth that God holds everything together by His powerful word. The song emphasizes that despite humanistic predictions and doomsday scenarios, God's plans will prevail. It offers comfort and hope, reminding believers that they are safe in His hands, and that He knows even where the sparrow lands. The message is one of trust and assurance in God's ultimate authority and care.

[Based on Hebrews 1:3, Matthew 20:29, 6:34]
Hearts are falling left and right
Children fear this planet's plight
Fatalistic fears abound
And take their toll without a sound
But through the vague uncertainty - comes a bold assurity
This world is under sovereignty - divinely ordered destiny
He holds this world together with the Word of His power
Safe within His hands - til its own appointed hour
He's still got the whole world in His hands - tonight
And only He knows where the sparrow lands - tonight
And nothing in this world can stop His plans - tonight
'Cause He's still got the whole world in His hands
In His hands tonight
Humanistic lies lament
The holocaust is imminent
Doomsday prophets in the news
Predicting who will light the fuse
The fate of His creation isn't subject to a man
The final consummation is according to His plan
He's still got you - He's still got me in His hands tonight
