this is my father's world

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 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 oh the battle is not done
Jesus Who died will be satisfied And earth and Heav'n will be one

Yes Jesus who died will be satisfied
and earth and heaven
Oh earth and heaven
oh earth and heaven
will be one

one day...

love ftw

Lord, only You sustain me.

i was made for love

the spirit of the sovereign LORD is on me,

because the LORD has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion--

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of gladness

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair.

they will be called oaks of righteousness,

a planting of the LORD

for the display of his splendor.

--isaiah 61:1-3
