In The Beginning Lyrics

(Mercy mercy Lord have mercy)

In the beginning

It was dark over the deep

The breath of God above the sea

And there was light and there was light

And there was day and there was night

In the beginning

There was water there was sky

And there was day and there was night

There was water there was land

And there were seeds and there were plants

And trees and fruit of every kind

And there was day and there was night

Oh how good it is Oh how good it is

There was the moon there was the sun

And there were stars and there were stars and stars

And stars and stars and stars and stars

And there was day and there was night

Now let the waters swarm with life

And let the birds begin to fly

Now each according to its kind

And they began to multiply

And there was day and there was night

Oh how good it is Oh how good it is

Oh how good it is Oh how good it is

And every creature every kind

Now let the people come alive

And let them care for what they find And let them care for what they find

Let us make them the image of God Let us make them the image of God

You are made in the image of God You are made in the image of God

Oh how good it is Oh how good it is

Oh how good it is Oh how good it is
