Tim Hughes' song 'Whole World in His Hands' is a contemporary worship piece that reassures believers of God's sovereign care and protection. Drawing from the traditional spiritual, it emphasizes that God holds the entire world securely, offering comfort amid trials and uncertainty. The lyrics speak of not fearing evil because God is present, strong to deliver, and mighty to save. It acknowledges life's hardships—fading circumstances, sorrow, fire, and waves—yet affirms trust in God's watchful care over coming and going. The song encourages faith and hope, reminding listeners that God provides strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

When all around is fading
And nothing seems to last
When each day is filled with sorrow
Still I know with all my heart
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
I'll fear no evil
For You are with me
Strong to deliver
Mighty to save
He's got the whole world in His hands
When I walk through fire
I will not be burned
When the waves come crashing 'round me
Still I know with all my heart
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
I'll fear no evil
For You are with me
Strong to deliver
Mighty to save
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
I know that
He's got the whole world in His hands
I believe, I believe
He's got the whole world in His hands
I know that
He's got the whole world in His hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
Oh, there's someone to harm you by day
And I know in my heart at night
He's got the whole world in His hands
He will watch over your coming and your going
Because I know
He's got the whole world in His hands
Strength for today,
And hope for tomorrow
He's got the whole world in His hands
I'll fear no evil
For You are with me
Strong to deliver
Mighty to save
He's got the whole world in His hands
