Amy Grant This Is My Father's World song lyrics

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, the birds their carols raise

The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.

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.

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: why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!

God reigns; let the earth be glad!

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.

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass

He speaks to me everywhere. "I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you HOPE for."
