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

Un universo parlato dal vuoto profondo

Creazione che supplica di essere detto di respirare

Mare e cielo, notte e giorno

Ogni stella con un nome e questo era buono

Creature della terra e del mare e ogni cosa vivente che respira

Gli uccelli in volo hanno insegnato a cantare

E così è stato e così è diventato

Bellezza perfetta, modo perfetto e questo era buono

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

E questo era buono

Polvere e fango, l'immagine di Dio avvolta in noi

Lui e lei a somiglianza toccati da mani di gloria

Mani d'amore e questo è stato bello

(Questo era buono)

Pioggia a cadere e vento a soffiare

Pesce per nuotare e bestia per vagare

La voce di Dio e così era

Non fa bene all'uomo essere solo

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

E questo era buono

Oh, cavaliere delle ali del vento

Il tuo progetto e il nostro peccato ti hanno ancora desiderio

Tieni la mia mano e la mia voce

È diventato un mondo di delusione

Sei tu quello che è lo stesso

Quello che sta ancora credendo

Che questo mondo è buono, questo mondo è buono

Si si si

Ah, questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

E questo era buono

Cose viventi entrambe grandi

E in piccolo ricorda Colui che ti ha creato

Cielo e Terra e tutto ciò che è

Richiama la voce che ti ha salvato

Questo era buono, questo era Dio

Questo era buono, questo era Dio
