Very Good (Shorts)

[Verse] The ground is still warm from the shaping hand Dust remembers what the breath began Fields stand quiet, the work is done Nothing rushing, nothing left to run [Chorus] And it was very good Not loud, not new Just standing as it should In open view No crown to claim, no fight to win Just life set right, and we placed within [Verse] Given the garden, not the throne Called to tend what’s not our own Hands to keep, not hands to own Walking paths that aren’t alone [Chorus] And it was very good Complete and true No missing parts, no need to prove Nothing to do The work stands whole, the measure clear The verdict spoken — we are here [Outro] So let us stay where we are placed Hands in soil, unhurried pace The day complete, the word understood The world stood still — and it was very good
