This song was composed in the wake of a fatal accident in Canberra on 10 February 2003 in which a 22 year old father lost his 22 year-old pregnant wife but their 7-weeks premature baby girl was safely delivered and their 10mth old boy also survived. (Sadly the baby girl died 8 days later.)

Recording as featured on the album Favoured Chick.

Encore sheet music.

Verse 1

D                                 G                 D

Some things we may never understand

Bm                         G                        A

But we know He holds them in His hand

D                    G                      D

We juggle the balls up in the air

Bm                 G                                A

Heaven only knows where they will land

G        D/F#       G              D/F#

But I’m sure     of this one thing:

Em D/F#  G  A                   D

He has     it all under command

Chorus

          G   A      D                   G     A       D

In His mighty hand, Nations rise and fall

          G    A     Bm                              G                          A

In His mighty hand, One lives, one dies, and one is born

           G    A     D                  G     A    D

In His mighty hand, We may run or crawl

                    G      A    Bm

Though our paths erode

                       G                               A                             D

In His mighty hand, We have the strength to bear the load

Verse 2

That He loves me I can’t understand

That He loves to hold me in His hand

When my life’s a mess, He’s the One who cares

And He fits the pieces in His plan

But I am sure of this one thing

He has it all under command
