This Was Good - Rita Springer

A spoken universe out of the empty deep

Creation pleading to be told to breathe

Sea and sky, night and day

Every star with a name and this was good

Creatures of the land and sea and every living breathing thing

Flying birds taught to sing

And so it was and so became

Perfect beauty, perfect way and this was good

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

And this was good

Dust and mud, the image of God wrapped up in us

Him and her in likeness touched by hands of glory

Hands of love and this was good

(This was good)

Rain to fall and wind to blow

Fish to swim and beast to roam

The voice of God and it was so

It’s not good for man to be alone

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

And this was good

Oh, rider of the wings of wind

Your design and our sin still has You in longing

Hold my hand and voice

Became a world of disappointment

You’re the one who is the same

The one who is still believing

That this world’s good, this world is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ah, this was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God

And this was good

Living things both large

And small remember He who made you

Heaven and Earth and all that is

Recall the voice that saved you

This was good, this was God

This was good, this was God
