‘This Is My Father’s World’

No hymn requests today so far, so it’s up to me to get the day started.

This has always been one of my favorite hymns–This Is My Father’s World. This rendition by Fernando Ortega is very nicely illustrated.

(Yes, Lee, you made a good pick today. Now hurry up and post it.)

When God finished His work of creation, He looked it over and knew it was good, very good.

This is an old Sunday school favorite, spruced up a little by Keith and Kristyn Getty: This Is My Father’s World. Two lines of the lyric make words to live by: “Yet tho’ the wrong seem oft so strong,/ God is the ruler yet.”

A little later on I’ll have a new one for you from Joshua & Jeremy; but first this, an old Sunday school favorite–This Is My Father’s World, sung by the kids at Fountainview Academy.

This is my Father’s world,/ O let me ne’er forget

That tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the ruler yet.

Bonus Hymn, ‘This Is My Father’s World’

I quoted this hymn in my last post, and now I’ve just got to have it. This was a favorite in Sunday school; but now that I’m older, it was power to move me deeply. Hard to hold back the tears!

We should be acutely, painfully, miserably embarrassed by the news these days–and by the characters who (ahem!) “report” it.

So on Sunday I’d rather turn away from nooze. Let’s have hymns, let’s have prayers, let’s have rejoicing in God’s works, and by all means let’s have comedy. But let’s not have the nooze. It can surely wait till tomorrow. The same wicked morons who were screwing us in Congress on Friday will still be screwing us tomorrow.

I am up too early this morning, but there was a payoff: I saw the goldfinch again. Such a bright and brilliant yellow!

I see one of these and think, “No way God abandons this world He made, and that He went to the Cross to save! No way he hands it over to the monsters!”

This is my Father’s world!/ O let me ne’er forget

That tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,

God is the ruler yet.

This old Sunday school favorite never fails to move me–This Is My Father’s World, sung here by Fernando Ortega. It reminds me, somehow, that every good thing I have ever known has been the gift of God the Father.

I’ve loved this hymn since I was a boy in Sunday school–This Is My Father’s World, sung here by James Loynes.

“This is my Father’s world,/ O let me ne’er forget/ That tho’ the wrong seems oft so strong,/ God is the ruler yet.”

Amen to that!

‘This Is My Father’s World’

It’s positively freezing, up here in Jersey-land; and yet all the trees are suddenly in bud, and even our ancient dogwood tree has opened up its blossoms. God’s stuff is on the move.

Here’s a new rendition of a classic hymn, This Is My Father’s World, performed by Keith & Kristyn Getty… with plenty of beautiful things to enjoy.

And when God looked on His creation, which He had made, He saw that it was very good…
