Former Ruins - World Lyrics

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 a farmer's world
Pressed under iron stairs
Of quotas met and what the market gets
We'll climb til there's nothing there

This is my Father's world
O let me not forget
That though the wrong
Seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet

This is our fallen world
No golden age can last
But there persists a radiance
Behind each shadow cast

This is my Father's world
The battle is not done
Jesus who died will be satisfied
When earth and heaven be one
Jesus who died will be satisfied
When earth and heaven be one
