Chris Picco reflects and sings - excerpt from Ashley & Lennon Picco Memorial Service

We felt Chris' words and song (starts at 8:10) was worthy of sharing - and we are thankful of the comfort they can provide to others who are going through difficult times, even as we all search for answers in times such as this.

Chris tragically lost his wife and son in early November 2014.

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD
written by Maltbie Davenport Babcock and Franklin L. Sheppard

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:
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!
