Artist picture
Praise and worship of Jesus Christ in an Eclectic blend of acoustic and electric guitars. The words are from The Word and my Christian testimony of the struggle
Why do we do what we do, or believe what we believe? Some judge the materialistic as all there is. But, where does the beautiful painting of artistic expression in canvas, word, music and thought come from? From where do we derive altruistic love and feeling for one another? The materialistic explanations fall short of elucidation, let alone understanding of the incorporeal and/or supernatural aspects of our lives. So much so that the inadequate reasoning of the materialists become illogical and incomprehensible. So, why the opposing worldviews? If you believe the material world is the only answer, I would ask that you open your mind to the possibility of your own self imposed limitations. Does the well rounded mind limit itself? Where then does growth come from? In my personal life, I have found music can be a healing balm, a positive motivator and a conduit to profound worship. The music my Lord has given me to play and minister with, are in conjunction with my testimony, my life’s story, and the gifts He has given me. Along with studies for a Masters Degree in Christian Apologetics and Polemics, I am also completing studies for a Masters degree in Theology as well. Again, I feel that you never quit learning, nor are we supposed to. You become stagnant if you remain static! Thanks and God Bless Ron

Story behind the song
Words: Malt­bie D. Bab­cock, 1901, alt. While a pas­tor in Lock­port, New York, Bab­cock liked to hike in an ar­ea called “the es­carp­ment,” an an­cient up­thrust ledge near Lock­port. It has a mar­vel­ous view of farms, or­chards, and Lake On­tar­io, about 15 miles dis­tant. It is said those walks in the woods in­spired these lyr­ics. The ti­tle re­calls an ex­press­ion Bab­cock used when start­ing a walk: “I’m go­ing out to see my Fa­ther’s world.”
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, 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. 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, 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.
