Jesus first gives those children a mother who will impress them of the reality of Heaven through her love and the reality of Hell through her spankings. God intended this, for the ordinary passing along of the faith to the future.
This is my Father's world, And to my list'ning 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.It is my prayer that this 100 year celebration would mark a turning point in the perspective of Christian Education for the young people like yourself who had to endure the godless system that we gave you. I love you and I pray for your strength to make it happen.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 ev'rywhere.
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.
