It Was Good Lyrics

You spoke light into the darkness

Matter to existence

And it was good

You brought life into the formless

Order to chaos

And it was good

Separated sky and sea

You made them too

You made them too

And You brought the land together

And made plains and made mountains

And made valleys

It was good

It was good

It was good

It was good

Fruit-yielding trees

Seeds in the ground

Each one making its own kind

You saw each plant

And what it would do

To bring our world to life

It was good

It was good

It was good

It was good

Then planets set in motion

The sun to rule the day

And the moon to pierce the darkness of night

There were stars and there were galaxies

Thrown into orbit

You made it so they all shine

It was good

It was good

It was good

It was good

And the waters started trembling

With each fish and dolphin

And whale and octopus and all

And the sky started fluttering

As the birds filled the trees

And life burst forth into song

It was good

It was good

It was good

It was good

Then beasts of the field

And every creeping thing

Found its partner in one another

But creation wasn't finished

Without someone in His image

So God took the dust and made us

It was good

It was good

It was good

But not yet done

So God put him to sleep

And brought from his own side

A helper fit for him

That he and she eternally

Would rest in Love for all time

It was good

It was good

It was good

For them

It was very good

It was very good

It was very good

For us

It was very good

It was very good

It was very good

Until it wasn't
