This Is My Father's World

A Christian song by Maltbie Davenport Babcock. The lyrics speak of the awsomeness of God and how He is the Creator of all things - this world that we live in and all that is in it - and how we can rest in the fact that He is the Lord of all, even when things don't seem to go the way we would like them to. In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus taught His disciples in the Sermon of the Mount on why they should not worry about their lives and daily necessities - afterall, are we not more valuable than His creation, the birds of the air or flowers of the field which the Lord looks after? How much more will He look after us when we seek first His Kingdom and righteousness.

Indeed we can declare that this is our Father's world. And because it is His world, we do not need to worry when challenges come our way. In fact, He has overcome our greatest challenge - sin and death - through the sacrifice of His beloved Son Jesus, who will come in glory to deliver us to life eternal. This is my Father's world, the battle is not done. Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one!
