"It’s my hope that we add to this simple song in every language from every nation as we let it become a prayer for our whole world! God bless you today. And remember it’s all in God’s hands!" Perry wrote on Instagram. He added the hashtag, "#HesGotTheWholeWorldChallenge" before tagging a handful of others.
