The speaker is facing a difficult situation where a loved one has cancer that has spread and the treatments have failed. An adversary mocks the speaker, saying there is nothing that can be done. However, the speaker maintains confidence that God is in control, even if the speaker cannot help directly. The song encourages putting one's trust in God during times of trouble, when all seems lost, as God promises to watch over and heal those who believe in him.
28. He's got the whole world
In His hands
He's got the whole wide world
In His hands
He's got the whole world
In his hands
He's got the whole world in His hands
