Well the day has just begun and I'm already running late
With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate
I'd be pulling out my hair if I could just get one hand free
And I'd stop this world if I could find the key

What I feel is telling me I'm going crazy and
What is real says God's still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the king of the jungle

People say this worlds a jungle and sometimes I must admit
I'd be scared to death if I did not know who was king of it
But the truth is God created this whole world with His own hand
So everything is under His command

What I see is telling me this world's gone crazy but
What is real says God's still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the king of the jungle

K I N G of the J U N G L E (He's King of creation)
K I N G of the J U N G L E (Ruler of earth and the sky and the sea)
K I N G of the J U N G L E (He's always in control)
K I N G of the J U N G L E (He is the king of kings)
K I N G of the J U N G L E (He's sitting on the throne)
He is the king of kings

What I see is telling me this world's gone crazy but
What is real says God's still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the king of the jungle

What I see is telling me this world's gone crazy
But what is real says God's still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing and that'll be
The Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the king of the jungle

Lord we praise You Lord we praise You
You are the king of the jungle
Lord we praise You Lord we praise You
You are the king of kings
What I see is telling me the world's gone crazy
What is real is telling me that God's still on His throne
