When it all seems to fall apart
You still have my heart
When nothing seems to be making sense
You can handle it
When I don't get what I want
I'll still trust Your plan
When it seems like way too much
You hold my hand
When it all seems to fall apart
You still have my heart
When nothing seems to be making sense
You can handle it
When I don't get what I want
I'll still trust Your plan
When it seems like way too much
You hold my hand
You are in control
And You know what I do not know
And if You watch the sparrow
Then I know You're watching me
I will trust You
With all my heart
I will depend on You
All my hope is
In You oh Lord
You are in control
I will trust You
With all my heart (with all my heart)
I will depend (I will depend on You)
Every day of my life
(All my hope is)
It's in You (in You oh Lord)
You are in control
(You are in control)
Though I can't see
What You are doing
Lord I believe You're taking care of me
You never failed and
You won't start now
Lord I believe You're taking care of me
(Though I can't see) exactly what You're doing
(What You are doing)
I believe
(Lord I believe)
That You're taking care of me
You never fail (You never fail)
You won't start (You won't start now)
I believe
(Lord I believe)
That You're taking care of me
(You're taking care of me)
Taking care of me
(You're taking care of me)
I'm on Your mind my God
You're taking care of me
(Taking care of me)
Ohh
You're taking care
(Taking care of me)
Yes You are
(Taking care of me)
(Taking care of me)
(Taking care of me)
Though I can't see
What You are doing
Lord I believe
You're taking care of me
You never fail
You won't start now
Lord I believe
You're taking care of me
Yes I know You're watching me
"In Control" by VaShawn Mitchell is a powerful and uplifting song that reminds us of God's sovereignty and faithfulness in our lives. The lyrics speak to the struggles and uncertainties we face, but also emphasize the unwavering trust we can have in God's plan.
The song opens with the lines, "When it all seems to fall apart, you still have my heart. When nothing seems to be making sense, you can handle it." These words convey a sense of surrender and submission to God, acknowledging that even in the midst of chaos and confusion, He is still in control. It is a powerful reminder that our circumstances do not define us, but rather, it is our trust in God that sustains us.
Throughout the song, VaShawn Mitchell continues to express his unwavering trust and dependence on God. He sings, "When I don't get what I want, I'll still trust Your plan. When it seems like way too much, You hold my hand." These lyrics reflect the biblical truth found in Proverbs 3:5-6, which states, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This verse encourages us to trust in God's wisdom and guidance, even when we don't understand His ways.
The chorus of the song declares, "You are in control, and You know what I do not know. And if You watch the sparrow, then I know You're watching me." This line draws inspiration from Matthew 10:29-31, where Jesus teaches about God's care and provision for His creation. He says, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." This verse reminds us that if God cares for the smallest and seemingly insignificant creatures, then surely He cares for us and is in control of every aspect of our lives.
The bridge of the song proclaims, "Though I can't see what You are doing, Lord I believe You're taking care of me. You never failed and You won't start now." These lyrics echo the message of Romans 8:28, which states, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Even when we cannot see or understand God's plans, we can trust in His faithfulness and His ability to turn our trials into triumphs.
"In Control" by VaShawn Mitchell is a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty and presence in our lives. It encourages us to trust in His plan, even when it seems like everything is falling apart. Through its lyrics, the song draws inspiration from various scripture verses that speak to the theme of God's control, care, and faithfulness. It is a song that brings hope and reassurance, reminding us that no matter what we face, we can trust in God's unfailing love and guidance.
