The basic theme of this poem is certainly not new or unique, nor are the words "original".  This theme is substantially supported by the Scriptures.

God Has Everything Under Control

Be ye not anxious of what may happen tomorrow;
God has everything under control.
Whether it brings happiness or trouble and sorrow,
God has everything under control.

Though the view may be terrifying from your private perspective,
God has everything under control,
Trust Him in everything; keep calm and cool and collected;
God has everything under control.

Seek daily His counsel in matters that alarm you;
God has everything under control;
Fear Him and reverence Him: He's the One you can turn to —
God has everything under control.

He alone knows the future that no man can foresee;
God has everything under control;
He knows all that has been and what's still yet to be;
God has everything under control.

Yes, we've no cause to be anxious of what may happen tomorrow
For God has everything under control.
Let us live for Him today, tomorrow's trouble not borrow;
God has everything under control!
