This is My Father's World

Whenever I think of this hymn, I think of a version done by Glad in A cappella. I know this isn't A cappella, but I loved the simplicity. Maybe an A cappella version will happen one day.

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
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
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
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 not done
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied
And earth and Heaven be one
Words by: Maltbie D. Babcock
Music by: English melody (arr. by Franklin L. Sheppard)

Absolutely beautiful!!! Is this what Heaven will sound like? May the Lord pour out the abundance of His blessings upon you, my friend! Thank you!

[@estherbabalo8957]

I sing this song everytime I'm in fear of anything or any circustance. Then I am reminded that God is the Ruler. He rules in His sovereign wisdom. Then my fear is gone as i surrender everything into His hands.

[@BillWynner]

Praise the Lord and I look forward to being with our Father and His Son in the world made new. All tears wiped from our eyes and no more sin and suffering 🙏

Revelation 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. They escaped to America from the religious wars

Praise the Lord for your gently uplifting performance of this wonderfully true hymn, my brother!

[@chrisanacin5722]

Thank you brother for all of your videos, may the Lord continue to bless you as you blesses others by your godly music. Praise be to our King Jesus!

[@josephineparker8123]

Very refreshing, inspiring and relevant. It captures so eloquently what God - lovers experience. Excellent rendition. The words are allowed to minister, and the voice and music provide the subtle support. Excellent. To God be all the glory. He is indeed, and always be the, RULER yet!

Always will be,The RULER yet!

Best rendition of this Hymn on You Tube.

[@jenniferclark9864]

Very nice. This song just came to my mind this morning from my patio listening to the sounds of my my Fathers world in the midst of our current crazy situation. Such good lyrics and beautifully done to remind us that this is still Gods world.

[@jenniferpendell1621]

Beautiful! I also have never heard it done better!

[@katherinebybee6847]

Such gentle and deep worship. Thank you.

[@cindi7955]

So beautiful with powerful emotions. Glory to God!

[@liligibson4601]

I love this one. My 11 year old has to listen to this singer to sing this song since he said his voice is very special.

[@honeycrown4joy]

I love the way these songs are being rendered by you. The way you split into 2 or more different voices and instrumentalist is also amazing. God bless you brother

[@lindamullin3414]

As a child the line in the song has stayed with me all these years “Although the wrong seems outs so strong, God is still ruler yet.” At age 64 God is indeed still ruler yet. These wounds are a story you will use as You continue to heal me I am thankful for the scars as it brings me closer to You because it helps me know Your heart and who You are. “Although the wrong seems oft so strong, God is still ruler yet.” The pain of our past makes it hard to believe God’s promise of hope for our future. It’s easy to lose confidence in Him, in other people, and especially in ourselves. He wants us to “trust in Him, so that [we will] overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 15:13). And the only way that can happen is if we let Jesus pour His healing power into our lives, allowing His love to flow into our pain and cleanse the wounds from our past. When you have been wounded, the risk of getting hurt again seems more costly, and perhaps even more likely, doesn’t it? The things that hurt us are as varied as the lies we believe because of them: Like my friend who was sexually abused by a neighbor when she was eight years old. Shame convinced her she would always be dirty and worthless. Like my friend who was raped at knifepoint by a masked stranger the week of her college graduation. Fear held her for years in a personal prison, convincing her she’d never be free. Like my friend who was married and divorced multiple times. Condemnation convinced her she’d never be good enough for a man or for God. Like a woman I know whose mother called her names and criticized everything she did. Humiliation held her hostage, convincing her she’d always be useless. Like my friend who had an abortion when she was a teenager. Paralyzing grief and disgrace convinced her God could never use her in ministry. Like my friend whose son was in prison awaiting trial as a sex offender. False blame kept her up at night, convincing her she must have done something wrong as a mom.

[@danieltku]

Beautiful rendition of this hymn. Your worship of God shines through. Teaching my son this hymn through this video. Is that a recorder or flute?

[@TheNCrewEliEli]

Penny whistle. Can't remember where it came from. Most have a plastic mouthpiece, but this one uses the metal of the whistle with a wood insert. I like the sound of this one - but, do the others as well. Just depends on what key I'm playing a song in and which whistle I decide to use. :-)

[@rebeccatang5686]

NICE ONE

[@cynthiatan4681]

Simple yet very touching rendition of an all time favorite hymn. Is that the same wind instrument you used in another hymn, " The Love of God"?

[@TheNCrewEliEli]

I'm not sure that I used that exact whistle. This one has some wood at the mouthpiece while I think the Love of God ones were plastic mouthpieces. I was going to use a plastic one, but it was quite out of tune. Nice that they are such reasonably priced instruments and I may just have to buy a replacement at some point. :-)

[@cynthiatan4681]

Simply loved the praises and hymns you did with your brother. You're both so musically given by God and have blessed so many. Shared your music with many homebound elderly and they are really ministered, to be able to hear and sing their old time favourites back to God presented in a simple, personal way. Hope to see a collaborative work here from both of you soon! Great job, Brothers!

[@patl.1640]

Cynthia Tan I thought both are the same person. Hahaha. TheNCrew (I'm sorry I don't know your name yet), isn't that you as both the singer as well as the guitarist? :)

[@johnsone9396]

This version actually is decent- the others cause tooth decay. Great job, thanks.

[@sadie77711]

After hearing you perform "This Is My Fathers World" you really touched my soul. You are truly blessed and I said a prayer for you. Where in the country do you live?

[@TheNCrewEliEli]

Thank you. We are in Manitoba Canada. 🙂

[@lindamullin3414]

Dear Beloved Survivor: I wanted to drop these few lines as you’re in my thoughts, heart and prayers once again I will no doubt fulfill the definition of a few lines. I addressed this Beloved survivor because you are loved greatly. A survivor by definition: a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died; the remainder of a group of people of things; a person who copes well with difficulties in their life. I have often in the past posted letters here on Facebook addressed first Dear ___________, then I began to address them Dear Survivor and lately and today I address this letter Dearest Beloved Survivor. Because even though I don’t know who you are God does and you are His Beloved cherished by Him, always have been always will be. As the Lord recognizes me as a survivor He also expressed not knowing the names of those who became lost, wounded etc. He by His Spirit desired to reach them and speak to them letting them know He has not forgotten you or abandoned you and He has heard your cries. Through letters and books music etc. He begins to fulfill Ezekiel 34:11-12;16. (For thus says the Lord God, Behold I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep that have been scattered, so I will seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. 16a: I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak.) I wanted to share how I am doing? There are moments or times I find myself in the in-between. Witnessing and experiencing areas within myself that He is healing while recognizing the in-between moments. The in-between moments are those moments when answers to prayers are in the works but not yet complete. Moments I express how I feel regarding it etc. In the works by definition: being planned, worked on or produced (because of human folly, ignorance, sin and or evil) are only delayed for a time. Those moments the enemy wants us to believe and or think God has forgotten our prayers. It is these in-between moments I come across songs that minister to me and I proclaim although even when it hurts, even when it’s hard, even when it all just falls apart, I will run to you because I know that you are lover of my soul, healer of my scars and He steady my heart. Song Steady my heart. I run to Him with how I am feeling and then I listen to other songs like the WayMaker which proclaims (declares something one considers important) with due emphasis by definition ( special attention or prominence given to something). We proclaim He is here with us. We give Him thanks. We acknowledge He is working, He is moving, and proclaim His ability. He is the WayMaker, Miracle worker, Promise keeper, Light in the darkness, proclaiming that is who He is. As we continue to proclaim who He is there becomes a shift in our soul as He touches our heart and as He is touched by our worship and proclamation (a clear declaration of something, the public or official announcement, especially dealing with matters of great importance). In His great love He reaches deeper and we are able to express and become aware of our innermost thoughts and feelings secure in His ability we proclaim with assurance even when I don’t see it, You are working; even when I don’t feel it, You are working, You never stop working, You never stop working, You never stop working. As we continue to proclaim: even when I don’t see it, You are working; even when I don’t feel it, You are working, You never stop working, You never stop working, You never stop working we begin to see the moments in time that even though I didn’t see it or feel it, He was working, He never stopped, He never stopped. And those in-between moments we proclaim His ability. I may not see it or feel it as I continue to worship and proclaim it I see what He has already done and become (begin to see clearer that I am in a totally new situation)becoming confident He will and is working and will continue until it is complete. Songs that confess how I am feeling and or help me identify my feelings and thoughts and proclaiming His ability and begin to experience His Word active and alive for myself personally. So as you listen to songs as you feel a shift within yourself, you will find combatting the enemy through worshipful songs, proclaiming His ability moves the mountains within us. We experience His life changing ability personally for some for the first time. His gentle whispers through music, books, sharing etc. helping us sometimes recognize our feelings, emotions and thoughts as He begins to proclaim His love and affection for us and toward us through songs that minister to our souls. He is forever faithful. God’s love is strong enough to reassure yet unthreatened enough to release. Tight enough to embrace yet loose enough to enjoy. Magnetic enough to hold, yet magnanimous enough to allow for flight...with the absence of jealousy as He applauds ones accomplishments and helps each to see their competence. God in His Security, puts away nets, so people have an opportunity to flutter and fly. God believes in His creation. He sees beneath the surface and knows in ones inner most (well) being is a wealth of wisdom, a deep, profound, untapped reservoir of ability. Within the security of His love a person is often freed-released-to discover and develop their own capacity, to get in touch with ones feelings to cultivate their skills and emerge from the cocoon’s of their life to be all He created them to be. In the comfort of His love people flourish and blossom and are able to reach out far beyond their limited world. This is not in order to discard the necessity of human love and compassion but often allows one to be able to accept and receive it. Gods’ love is patient, Gods’ love is kind, Gods’ love does not envy or boast. His love is not arrogant or rude. God does not force His way, Gods’ love isn’t irritable or resentful. Gods’ love does not rejoice in wrong doing but rejoices with the truth.Gods’ love bears all things, believed all things, endures all things. Gods’ love never ends. Gods’ love is unconditional. Unconditional love by definition: is known as affection without limitations or conditions. This term is sometimes associated with other terms such as true altruism ( the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.) or complete love (having all the necessary or appropriate parts) love (a feeling of string or constant affection for a person. That is Gods’ love. Unconditional complete everlasting. With that I will close directing those to read Jeremiah 31:3; Romans 5:8; Gods’ love is the only love that never falters (never hesitates, never stumbles or never wavers) never fails (never unsuccessful in achieving one’s goal, never neglects to do something) take comfort in your faith and know God truly loves you now and forever. Sending His everlasting, unfailing love in Jesus name. Amen. Sincerely, A sister in Christ Linda Mullin Victim or Survivor: Being a victim is a state of body. Being a survivor is a state of mind. A victim fears falling. A survivor knows falling is a part of life. A victim knows about feeling down. A survivor knows feeling down is okay. A victim doesn’t always know the side effects of therapy. A survivors discovers ways how to cancel the side effects. A victim is amazed at all the tears. A survivor never leaves home without Kleenex. A victim goes to “see” a therapist or doctor. A survivor “consults” with their help. A victim feels helpless. A survivor says “thanks” with dignity and grace. A victim enjoys a good laugh. A survivor loves one. From the moment one is diagnosed they are victims, they must chose to be survivors. Seven days without laughter makes one weak. How do you know what is in a persons heart? By what they do with the information they have been given.
