I've spent much of my life campaigning against bad music in Catholic churches. We have a choir member who likes to sing this song, and he persuaded the previous music director to sing it solo several times. I hated it.
The other night, I heard him sing it for the current choir director - and I was very pleased to see her vive it the "thumbs down."
It kinda reminds me of people who sing a slightly-altered version of Littly Peggy March's "I Love Him" and call it churhc music.

He's Everything to Me
(author unknown - perhaps he's in some sort of Songwriter Protection Program)
Haruo says it's by Ralph Carmichael, b. 1927, © 1964

In the stars His handiwork I see,
On the wind He speaks with majesty,
Tho He ruleth over land and sea,
What is that to me?

I will celebrate Nativity,
for it has a place in history
Sure, He came to set His people free
What is that to me?

Till by faith I met Him face to face
and I felt the wonder of his grace
Then I knew that He was more
than just a God who didn't care
That lived a way out there

And now He walks beside
me day by day,
Ever watching over me lest I stray,
Helping me to find that narrow way
He's Everything To Me.
