Not A Care In The World
Not a care in the world! They have all dropped away. I am high in the hills, I am happy today.
Not a care in the world! I am down by the sea, With the wind and the waves Telling me I am free.
Not a care in the world! In the silence Ive entered, And my heart and my head On the Father Ive centered.
Not a care in the world! All the work now is done By the Father within, And the victory won.
