Church on the Water Lyrics
This Is My Father’s World
Verse 1:
This is my Father's world, And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
Chorus1:
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.
Verse 2:
This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
Chorus 2:
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.
Verse 3:
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.
Chorus 3:
This is my Father's world:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let earth be glad!
Praise
Verse 1:
I'll praise in the valley, praise on the mountain
I'll praise when I'm sure, praise when I'm doubting
I'll praise when outnumbered,
praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the waters my enemies drown in
As long as I'm breathing, I've got a reason to
Chorus 1:
Pra -ise the Lord, oh my soul
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
Verse 2:
I'll praise when I feel it, praise when I don't
I'll praise 'cause I know, You're still in control
My praise is a weapon, it's more than a sound
My praise is the shout that brings Jericho down
As long as I'm breathing, I've got a reason to
Chorus 2:
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive,
how could I keep it inside
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
Bridge 1
I'll praise 'cause You're sov'reign,
praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause you rose and defeated the grave
I'll praise cause You're faithful,
praise 'cause You're true
Praise 'cause there's nobody greater than You
(repeat)
Chorus 3:
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
Pra - ise the Lord, oh my soul
I won't be quiet, my God is alive,
so how could I keep it in - side
I won't be quiet, my God is alive,
so how could I keep it in - side
I won't be quiet, my God is alive,
so how could I keep it in - side
Pra - ise the Lord,
oh my soul

and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
