lyrics

VERSE 1
This is my Father's world. And to my listening ears.
All nature sings, and round me rings, the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world. I rest me in the thought.
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas.
His hand the wonders wrought.

CHORUS
Even in our confusion. In the midst of our doubt
You hold all things together. You seek us out.
In spite of our violence. In spite of our fears
You enter our suffering. You have come near.

VERSE 2
This is my Father's world. The birds, their carols raise.
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world. He shines in all that's fair.
In the rustling grass, I hear Him pass.
He speaks to me everywhere.

CHORUS
Even in our confusion. In the midst of our doubt
You hold all things together. You seek us out.
In spite of our violence. In spite of our fears
You enter our suffering. You have come near.

OUTRO
This is my Father's world. Why should my heart be sad?
The lord is King, let the heavens ring.
God reigns, let the earth be glad
The lord is King, let the heavens ring.
God reigns, let the earth be glad.

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.
