Amy Grant performs the classic hymn "This Is My Father's World," a beloved Christian song that celebrates God's sovereignty and presence in creation. The lyrics reflect on how nature—birds, light, lilies, rocks, trees, skies, and seas—declares the Maker's praise. The song encourages trust in God's rule even when wrong seems strong, and it reassures believers that because God reigns, hearts need not be sad. Grant's rendition, featured in a lyric video, brings a gentle, worshipful tone to this timeless hymn, reminding listeners of God's intimate care and the joy found in His creation.

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, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.
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: why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
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.
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
