Who does this world belong to?

Today I was listening to Paws and Tales with my kids in the van, and at the end of each episode there is always a song that summarizes the lesson presented. Today's song was done by a country artist, and it was so beautiful! The lyrics were simple- and hit directly to my heart.
 These last few days have been full of crazy weather with damage done to crops and neighbors homes and property. As farmers wife , we live off of the land, depend on the weather and often live in faith knowing we have done all we can, the rest is up to Him. This is not an easy thing. And so, today as I listened to this song, on a childrens radio broadcast meant for little kids, I was struck with a message so clear. It all belongs to God!

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this big old world belong to- it all belongs to God

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this big old world belong to- it all belongs to God

See that flower, see that tree

you might think they're our property

but they're not really ours, you see

I know that may sound odd

but the One who owns each hill and brook

ain't listed in some mortgage book

You'll know if you take a look

it all belongs to God

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this big old world belong to- it all belongs to God

Well mercury, the moon and mars 

Lord they declare just who You are

Your name is written in the stars,

its glorious, its true

And though you have no earthly street address

your landlord over east and west

that is why I do confess - it all belongs to You

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this big old world belong to- it all belongs to God

This is my Father's world

I rest thee in God's arms

of rocks and trees, of skies and seas

is in His wondrous arms

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this world belong to?

Who does this big old world belong to- it all belongs to God
