School hymns!
Argh, someone mentioned them in work and now I have "He's got the whole world, in his hands" spinning around in my head. Some others, just to remind you of being a kid. Join me after the cut (Also I have a post to make soon about a job I went for and the assessment centre I had to endure, but I'm more interested in this for now).
Why on earth I can remember these hymns, and not a single other fact taught to me during that time is beyond me!
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got my brothers and my sisters in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got the sun and the rain in His hands,
He's got the moon and the stars in His hands,
He's got the wind and the clouds in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got the rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He's got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He's got you and he's got me in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.
He's got everybody here in His hands,
He's got everybody there in His hands,
He's got everybody everywhere in His hands,
He's got the whole world in His hands.

And speaking to people in work, EVERYONE sang these, and we're pretty sure during the 80's there was pretty much one central book used to sing songs from and it was a Blue Book. Anyone remember it's name or able to post a pic?
