<\/a>In Scripture we find that King David declared the beauty of creation in Psalm 19. This Psalm was probably set to music for worship.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Outside of Scripture we find artists creating beautiful pieces about God\u2019s creation. From \u201cAll Creatures of Our God and King\u201d to \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d to \u201cIndescribable,\u201d God\u2019s masterpiece of our world and universe are worthy of our exaltation and praise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s song is no different. The author spent time in God\u2019s creation and felt closest to God while in nature. Each day as Maltbie D. Babcock left his home for a hike, he quipped, \u201cI\u2019m going out to see my Father\u2019s world.\u201d From there, these beautiful words were written.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wonder if you and I look at our world the same way. I live in one of the most beautiful areas of our country and there are times I take the Rocky Mountains for granted. I sometimes don\u2019t even look at them when I leave my home\u2026and I head toward them when travelling to work!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh how we sometimes are too busy to appreciate all that God has given to us. Today I pray that His gift of a beautiful world would not go unnoticed. I pray that today I will take the time to stop and admire His creation. I pray the same for you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are the lyrics and there\u2019s a link below to listen to this hymn. Enjoy this song, but more importantly enjoy God\u2019s creation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is My Father\u2019s World\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world, and to my listening ears
\nAll nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world: I rest me in the thought
\nOf rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
\nHis hand the wonders wrought.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world, the birds their carols raise,
\nThe morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker\u2019s praise.
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world: He shines in all that\u2019s fair;
\nIn the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
\nHe speaks to me everywhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world. O let me ne\u2019er forget
\nThat though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world: the battle is not done:
\nJesus Who died shall be satisfied,
\nAnd earth and Heav\u2019n be one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world, dreaming, I see His face.
\nI ope my eyes, and in glad surprise cry, \u201cThe Lord is in this place.\u201d
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world, from the shining courts above,
\nThe Beloved One, His Only Son,
\nCame\u2014a pledge of deathless love.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world, should my heart be ever sad?
\nThe lord is King\u2014let the heavens ring. God reigns\u2014let the earth be glad.
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world. Now closer to Heaven bound,
\nFor dear to God is the earth Christ trod.
\nNo place but is holy ground.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is my Father\u2019s world. I walk a desert lone. <\/p>\n
\nIn a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze God makes His glory known.
\nThis is my Father\u2019s world, a wanderer I may roam
\nWhate\u2019er my lot, it matters not,
\nMy heart is still at home.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n
