[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Every creature finds its place Each boundary held in steady grace No thunder now, no spoken flame Just ordered life and a spoken name [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 3] 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 broken mood Nothing to prove The work stands whole, the measure clear The verdict spoken, and we are here [Bridge] Before the rest, before the night The world held steady in finished light No striving left, no need to add The Maker smiled — and called it glad [Chorus] And it was very good Fully enough Held in trust, not understood By force or bluff Just breathed-in life on borrowed ground Stewards standing where we’re found [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
