I'm sure you've sang it thousands of times as a kid, "He's got the Whole World in His Hands" but as soon as you high fifth/sixth grade you stop singing it, and then you never do again. Unless maybe you're reminiscing on "the good ol' days." However, I think everyone needs to sing this song, no matter how old you are because somehow we always forget that he has the whole world in his hands. That he is taking care of us. Our lives never leave his hands.
We often mistake the "whole" in the song for "part" or "those other people" or "good Christans" or even "anyone but me" but that's not true he has the WHOLE thing in his hands. Everything. From the tallest mountain to deepest part of the ocean. From the President to the poorest child. It's all there, right in his hands. There is nothing out of reach or sight of God.
The only problem about singing the song for older people is that it's too childish, not that it's bad, but let's face it " He's got the tiny-winy babies, in his hands" doesn't work for us. So here's some ideas for the remodification of the song.
He's got all our problems,
In his hands.
He's got all our tears,
In his hands.
He's got the sick and weak,
In his hands.
He's got the poor and hungry,
In his hands.
He's got the lost and searching,
In his hands.
He's got all our lives,
In his hands.
He's got all our plans,
In his hands.
He's got the whole world in his hands.
He's got the whole stinkin' World in his hands.
He's got every corner, every life in his hands.
.... And I'll you something, those are the best hands for our lives and world to be in.
