This is My Father's World

Under a sky of gold and blue Skeins of purple and scarlet yarn pop through Clouds of fine linen whispering around my ears How marvelous are His works year after year This is my Father’s world This is my Father’s world The onyx manta rays drift by Topaz and jasper coral multiply Jacinth and agate caves with amethyst towers How marvelous are His works each and every hour This is my Father’s world This is my Father’s world No beauty can compare Knowing He is there This is my Father’s world Crouching beside a beryl stream The emerald forest sways in the breeze Carnelian tigers hunt with chrysolite eyes The lapis lazuli and turquoise wings scatter in flight This is my Father’s world This is my Father’s world No beauty can compare Knowing He is there This is my Father’s world No beauty can compare Knowing He is there This is my Father’s world

I come to do my Father’s will and sacrifice myself I come to be light in dark and break the chains of Hell I come to be a servant knowing suffering I come to bear witness to the truth I am the King From Heaven above to Earth I come I come your Servant King From Heaven above to Earth I come I come, I come I come to place judgment and purify the sheep I come to heal the sick, strengthening the weak I come to bear a cross and pay the highest cost I come to your heart, stand at the door and knock From Heaven above to Earth I come I come your Shepherd King From Heaven above to Earth I come I come, I come I’ve gone back to Heaven to prepare a place for you So where I am, you will be there too I’ll come back like a night thief; only God knows when I’ll come back at the trumpet call; the dead will rise again I’ll come back on a white horse; Faithful and True I’ll come as the King of kings, I’m coming back for you From Heaven above to Earth I come I come the King of kings From Heaven above to Earth I come I come, I come

Come, come ye saints Come without restraint Praise, praise, praise His name Come, come ye saints He lifted you out of the depths Safe from enemies He brought you up from the dead Healer His anger lasts a moment His favor lasts a lifetime Come, come ye saints Come without restraint Praise, praise, praise His name Come, come ye saints He turns your wailing to dancing Removes your sackcloth sorrows He answers your cries for mercy Helper Weeping may stay for the night But joy comes in the morning Come, come ye saints Come without restraint Praise, praise, praise His name Come, come ye saints What is to gain in silence? Down, down in the pit Can dust sing His praises? Blowing in the wind If He ever hid His face We would be dismayed Proclaim His faithfulness Among the nations Come, come ye saints Come without restraint Praise, praise, praise His name Come, come ye saints Come, come ye saints Come without restraint Praise, praise, praise His name Come, come ye saints

Why do I feel like a stranger in my skin Why are my thoughts stained; my soul worn thin If all I am is all there is; where would even begin If Jesus didn’t have to die, why’d He give away His life You You are the Way, through You alone You You are the Way, through You alone And You guide me home You You are the Way, through You alone Why do I try to escape in a pair of headphones Why just follow the tune if the beat is tight If life is a song on repeat; the DJ’s lost his mind If Jesus didn’t have to die, why’d He give away His life You You are the Way, through You alone You You are the Way, through You alone And You guide me home You You are the Way, through You alone I am more wicked than I ever dared believed But I am more loved than I ever dared hoped You You are the Way, through You alone You You are the Way, through You alone You You are the Way, through You alone You You are the Way, through You alone And You guide me home You You are the Way, through You alone

Jesus I will ponder now Because I don’t know how To ease my wrinkled brow Spirit I still wonder how How You bring me peace My worries released I’m learning to trust and let God be God With the faith You give to believe Jesus I will ponder now What it means to obey Teach me how I pray Spirit I still wonder how You take the words I say Speaking in silent ways I’m learning to trust and let God be God With the faith You give to believe Jesus I will ponder now Your blessings anew at dawn Til the day’s come and gone, Jesus I will ponder now

God loves me dearly God loves me dearly His is a love, a love quite near to me God loves me dearly He knit me together in my mother’s womb He created my inmost being Even the hairs on my head are all numbered I am fearfully and wonderfully made God loves me dearly God loves me dearly His is a love, a love quite near to me God loves me dearly Consider the ravens they don’t sow or reap Yet God feeds them and feeds me Consider the flowers they don’t toil or spin Yet God clothes them and clothes me God loves me dearly God loves me dearly His is a love, a love quite near to me God loves me dearly Because He first, He first loved me I can learn to love from His love God loves me dearly God loves me dearly His is a love, a love quite near to me God loves me dearly His is a love, a love quite near to me God loves me dearly
