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

Een gesproken universum uit de lege diepte

Schepping die smeekt om te ademen

Zee en lucht, dag en nacht

Elke ster met een naam en dit was goed

Wezens van het land en de zee en elk levend ademend wezen

Vliegende vogels leren zingen

En zo was het en zo werd het

Perfecte schoonheid, perfecte manier en dit was goed

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

En dit was goed

Stof en modder, het beeld van God in ons gewikkeld

Hem en haar in gelijkenis aangeraakt door handen van glorie

Handen van liefde en dit was goed

(Dit was goed)

Regen om te vallen en wind om te blazen

Vissen om te zwemmen en beesten om rond te zwerven

De stem van God en het was zo

Het is niet goed voor de mens om alleen te zijn

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

En dit was goed

Oh, berijder van de vleugels van de wind

Uw ontwerp en onze zonde hebben U nog steeds in hun verlangen

Houd mijn hand en stem vast

Werd een wereld van teleurstelling

Jij bent degene die hetzelfde is

Degene die nog steeds gelooft

Dat deze wereld goed is, deze wereld goed is

Ja, ja, ja

Ah, dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God

En dit was goed

Levende dingen zowel groot

En onthoud Hij die jou heeft gemaakt

Hemel en aarde en alles wat is

Herinner je de stem die je heeft gered

Dit was goed, dit was God

Dit was goed, dit was God
