This Is My Father's World

about

I wrote this record as a way of breathing new life into songs I love. My desire was to preserve the original melody and lyrics from these historic songs and present them with new arrangements. The hope is for these songs to be seen with new eyes. To break us out of the monotony that comes with time and to unleash the power of these songs afresh. My musical inspiration for this record came from spending time listening to electronic artists that I love and a desire to keep these songs "small" in production. I wanted to be able to mold everything on my own, free from outside input or expectation. My good friend, Jordan Lucas, plays guitar and sings background vocals on every track but one. I am incredibly grateful for his friendship and artistry. I could not have done this without his help. My desire was to make something that I love and I hope you love it too. Thanks for listening. - Adam

lyrics

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,
Dreaming, I see His face.
I ope my eyes, and in glad surprise
Cry, "The Lord is in this place."
This is my Father’s world,
From the shining courts above,
The Beloved One, His Only Son,
Came—a pledge of deathless love.

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:
The battle is not done:
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.

This is my Father’s world.
I walk a desert lone.
In a bush ablaze to my wondering gaze
God makes His glory known.
This is my Father’s world,
A wanderer I may roam;
Whate’er my lot, it matters not,
My heart is still at home.
