Psalm 8: How Glorious Is Your Name O Lord, my God, how glorious is your name How glorious is your name over all the earth. 11

When I see the heavens, the work of your hands The moon and the stars which you arranged, What are we that you keep us in mind? Your children that you remember us at all!

O Lord, my God, how glorious is your name How glorious is your name over all the earth. 13

Yet you have made us little less than gods, With glory and honor you crowned us. Gave us power over the work of your hands, Dominion over all that you have made.

O Lord, my God, how glorious is your name How glorious is your name over all the earth. 15

All sheep and oxen, birds of the air, All things that swim in the sea, Beasts without number, life without names, You have placed under our feet.

O Lord, my God, how glorious is your name How glorious is your name over all the earth. 17

Halle, Halle, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 19

And It Was Good And it was good, good – very, very good, Very, very, very, very good!

Once the world was dark and cold, Then God made the light Once the world was dark and cold, Then God made the light. And God called the new light “day”, And the darkness “night”.

And it was good, good – very, very good, Very, very, very, very good!

Then God made the sky above and the earth below Then God made the sky above and the earth below. And God filled the clouds with rain to make the rivers flow.

And it was good, good – very, very good, Very, very, very, very good!

Then God filled the earth with life, flowers, plants and trees Then God filled the earth with life, flowers, plants and trees. Animals to roam the land, fish to swim in the seas!

And it was good, good – very, very good, Very, very, very, very good!

Everything was now in place – Earth and sky and sea; Then God blew a mighty breath Making you and me!

And it was good, good – very, very good, Very, very, very, very good!

Holy, Holy Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts. Heav’n and earth are full of your glory, Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!
