There was nothing at first there was
Nothing but God
No planets no mountains no chickens no cod
Then God said the word and
Like that there was light
The light he called Day and the
Dark he called Night
Verse 2
And then God said water and water there was
The waters below and the waters above
And just like a canopy way up on high
The bright baby blue and the white cloudy sky
Verse 3
And when God said gather the waters below
Washed into seas with a tumbling flow
And left behind dry land the dark fertile earth
Where flowers and trees and fruit came to birth
Chorus 1
Creation it’s a beautiful World (2X)
Verse 4
God spoke into being the sun stars and moon
For morning and evening and nighttime and noon
Light for the darkness and light for the day
To mark off the seasons as years pass away
Verse 5
Now fill up the oceans said God
Gurgling Fish
And fin tail and tentacle answered his wish
And when He cried Bird a sky full replied
With a squawk and swoop and a duck and a dive
Chorus 2
Creation it’s a beautiful World (3X)
Creation it’s a beautiful World
Verse 6
When God roared their names the
Wild beasts appeared
Now cattle said God Now sheep to be
Sheared
Now animals big Now animals small
Now creatures who slither and
Skitter and crawl
Verse 7
And then with a smile God said Women and Men
Made in my image made to be friends
Made to make babies sweet boys and girls
Made to take care of my beautiful world
Chorus 3
Creation it’s a beautiful World (3X)
Creation it’s a beautiful World
Verse 8
And when he had finished as most artists should
God looked at his work And he said
It's all good
And when he had finished as most artists do
He rested
And blessed that day of rest too
