[Verse 1]
I've got peace like a river
Flowing from the heart of the Giver
Greater than my mind can understand
I've got joy overflowing
It grows from the gladness of knowing
My life is resting in Your hands
[Chorus]
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always
You are now and always
Now and always
Now and always
[Verse 2]
I've got faith to move mountains
It flows from unstoppable fountains
A source that never will run dry
I've got hope that keeps burning
Through the laughter and hurting
Heaven's always on my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always
You are now and always
Now and always
Now and always
[Bridge]
If the world didn't give it to me
Then the world can't take it away
I'm less impressed with this world's mess
These feet are gonna walk by faith
If the world didn't give it to me
Then the world can't take it away
I'm less impressed with this world's mess
These feet are gonna walk by faith
[Chorus]
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
'Cause what I've got
The world didn't give me
And the world can't take it away
You are now and always (If the world didn't give it to me)
You are now and always (Then the world can't take it away)
You are now and always (I'm less impressed with this world's mess)
You are now and always (These feet are gonna walk by faith)
'Cause You were always (If the world didn't give it to me)
You were always (Then the world can't take it away)
You were now and always (I'm less impressed with this world's mess)
Oh-oh (These feet are gonna walk by faith)
You were now and always
