It Is a Good Day
J. Visser Lyrics

Darkness on the water
A spirit in the wind
The Earth is born and without form and chaos closes in
‘Til bursting forth in glory—oh, the light that burns within!
A voice begins
“It is good, it is good
The water, the fire—the spirit, earth, and wind
Yes, it is good, it is good
And I would do it all again”
There’s wisdom in the garden But a serpent in the grass
A just reward, a flaming sword, a flood throughout the land
‘Til arcing across the heavens—oh, the rainbow bids you stand!
A voice commands
“It is good, it is good
The colors, the wonders—the consequence of man
Yes, it is good, it is good
And I would do it all again”
The ego of an artist
The scribble of a pen
Upon a page, a final say as life draws to an end
But it’s not some idle claim—no, to say and mean ‘Amen!’
A voice, again
“It is good, it is good
The valleys, the mountains—the beginning and the end
Yes, it is good, it is good
And I would do it all again
And I would do it all”
