The Earth is yours, O Lord, and everything that is in it.
You are the one who pushed back the oceans and allowed dry land to appear.
You have made it possible for us to climb even the mountain of the Lord and enter where you live through the shed blood of Jesus.
Your name is to be praised above all others.
This Is My Father's World
Words and Music by Maltbie D. Babcock

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 thought 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 the earth and heaven be one.

This is one of my favorite hymns...
Thanks for the link.
Amen. I've heard so many wonderful messages and thoughts on God pushing back the waters and this has reminded me of them all. I'm thankful all went well last week and hope you're feeling refreshed. Once more, thanks so much for Sunday Praise.
Great hymn, Joe. Glad to see you back.
Memories of VBS.
Where's the watered-down Cool Aid and stale cookies?
This is my Father's World not mine, but His . He is in control, not me . He knows best ,I don't. He is so Great!!!
Thank You Joe
