hymns.

In the worst times in my life, even before I was saved by grace, hymn would come to mind and comfort.
"Count your blessings"
"Everything's Under Control"
"Rejoice in the Lord alway"
"In my heart there rings a melody"
"Written in Red"
and so many others also.

Eph5:19-20 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

Col3:15-17 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

These are the words to Everything's Under Control" by John Stallings.
1.Men's hearts today are failing for fear; It seems the the end is so very near; Our ship is leaning and the storms they roll; But God has everything under control.

C.Under control tho' the night be cold; Tho' the earth be shaken and the billows, they may roll! I heard God whisper to my Trembling soul: "Fear not, I have everything under control!"

2.I'm safe and secure in my Father's hand; And He is with me as I walk through this land; His love surrounds me in His Word I'm told I know He has everything under control.

  1. I would like to hear someone sing Under Control. I sang it as a teenager and the 2nd verse was a bit different to the one above.
    The earthquakes, wars and problems of men, He holds them all in the palm of His hand. I will fear no evil for I'm in His hold and my Father has everything under control.

    If someone could give me a link to hear it being sung or at least send me the chords I would greatly appreciate it. My email is detony39@yahoo.com
