Lyrics

What though wars may come,
With march­ing feet and beat of the drum,
For I have Christ in my heart;
What though na­tions rage,
As we ap­proach the end of the age,
For I have Christ in my heart.
God is still on the throne, Al­migh­ty God is He;
And He cares for His own through all eter­ni­ty.
So let come what may, what­ev­er it is, I on­ly say
That I have Christ in my heart,
I have Christ in my heart.
