My Father's World

Yo.

So I've been working a crazy amount on the worship set for tomorrow. And just when I thought I had it done and ready, I needed to change it. And then when I thought it was good, I needed to change the set list. Then I was ecstatic about doing a medley!!! (Never done one yet, but AL did so many) But even though the majority of the chords are the same between two songs, they do kinda change at any transition points...

And not that this is bad, but I tend to, recently, only choose songs that are not very familiar to most people. Which is good that we are expanding the amount of songs and stuff, but we can't do too much of that at once. And I fully understand that. There was this one super fast Colombian worship song at Urbana, and after I got it, it was great, but at the start, with other Spanish songs and other unfamiliar songs, it was a lot of just trying to say the right words at the right time.

So, ya, everything has worked out, but it was a lot more work than it could have been and I definitely over thought the whole process.

At the end while TM was working on the slides I was just sitting there and SM was playing piano, just playing like so many worship songs all strewn together. Not perfect, since he didn't have music or anything with him, but just worship. God really got me again. lol. Worship isn't about the performance Sunday morning, but about truly and with our whole being, just praising Him who has done so much for us and loves us.

I had to go to school after for 2pm to meet some friends. I got to Bayview just as the train left, and it may have been a joke, but SM suggested taking the walking path to Carling (the next train stop over). I kinda hate waiting when I could be doing something, so I just went for it. 18 minutes until the train would be there. Plenty of time, right?

Haha... It was not shovelled. It probably wasn't even supposed to be open yet (fences and tape and stuff as an indicator..?). There were cross-country skiiers, lots of snow, and the train went by. I was still 7 blocks from the station. So, I just kept going. lol.

I walked all the way to Carleton, down by the tracks, and then by the canal. And even though I was a bit annoyed about all that stuff, I just need to calm down and realize God is in control of everything.

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,

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,

Should my heart be ever sad?

The lord is King let the heavens ring.

God reigns let the earth be glad.

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 heaven be one
