My Father's World

Verse 1: The Spoken Beginning

This is my Father’s world,

By His own breath designed;

He spoke the light into the night,

And life and physical laws combined.

This is my Father’s world,

The Word made all we see;

The stars above declare His love,

And sovereign majesty.

​Verse 2: The Fallen Garden

This is my Father’s world,

Though shadowed now by sin;

The garden loss, a bitter cost,

When death came creeping in.

This is my Father’s world,

He heard His children’s cry;

He promised grace to seek our race,

And laid His glory by.

​Verse 3: The Cross and Victory

This is my Father’s world,

Where Christ, the Son, was slain;

The blood on the wooden tree of Calvary,

Has washed away the stain.

This is my Father’s world,

The stone was rolled away;

The morning bright put death to flight,

On that triumphant day.

​Verse 4: The Kingdom Come

This is my Father’s world,

O let me ne’er forget;

That though the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the Ruler yet.

This is my Father’s world,

The battle is His own;

The King shall reign and come again,

To claim His eternal throne.
