Creation 101 (That's Good)
Genesis 1
Lyrics
Verse 1
God Spoke. Dawn Broke. Day and night at one stroke
God said “Let there be light!
Let there be a sunrise, God-sized blue skies,
God said: “Look at that sight!”
He said “That’s good, that’s good, Oh that’s good”
God said “That’s good, that’s good, Oh that’s good”
Verse 2
New moons, full blooms, glaciers to sand dunes,
God said “Let there be stuff!”
Let there be some gum trees, fig trees, plum trees”
God said “Still not enough!”
He said “That’s good, that’s good, Oh that’s good”
He said “That good, that’s good, Oh that’s good”
Chorus 1
God said “Let there be life on land and sky and sea”
And God said “Let there be creatures!”
And God took a look at everything He made
And He said: “That’s good, that’s good!”
Verse 3
Goldfish, bluefish, cuttlefish and starfish,
Monkeys, mantas and mice;
Ginger cats and wombats, meerkats, fruit bats
God said “They’re kinda nice”
He said: “They’re good, they’re good, Oh they’re good”
God said “That good, that’s good, Oh that’s good”
Verse 4
God looked, God saw, everything was top drawer
God said “One final thing,
Let there be some boys, girls, long hair, short curls”
God said “Now we’re groovin’!”
Chorus 2
‘Cause God made you and me, made to be with Him you see,
God said “They’re beyond special”
And God took a look when He made you and me
And said “That’s absolutely awesome!”
Chorus 3
God made you and me; God’s creative mastery
God said “They’re beyond special”
And God took a look at everything He made
And said “That’s absolutely sensational!”
Vamp
Chorus 3
God made you and me, made to be with Him you see,
And God said “They’re beyond special”
And God took a look at everything He made
And said: “My works done here!”

The Story
God doesn’t make mistakes. When He made you, He made you perfect.
The world has a warped understanding of perfection. Anything – anyone – not conforming to its absurd Barbie and Ken criteria is seen as inferior.
And don’t get me started on its belief that we can be born in the ‘wrong body’! God made you perfect: Those freckles, curls and things about you that make yuo different and unique. They’re no mistake. He looks, and says “Oh, that’s good!”
