lirik lagu james weldon johnson - the creation

and god stepped out on sp~ce
and he looked around and said
“i’m lonely —
i’ll make me a world.”

and far as the eye of god could see
darkness covered everything
blacker than a hundred midnights
down in a cypress swamp

then god smiled
and the light broke
and the darkness rolled up on one side
and the light stood shining on the other
and god said, “that’s good!”

then god reached out and took the light in his hands
and god rolled the light around in his hands
until he made the sun;
and he set that sun a~blazing in the heavens
and the light that was left from making the sun
god gathered it up in a shining ball
and flung it against the darkness
spangling the night with the moon and stars
then down between
the darkness and the light
he hurled the world;
and god said, “that’s good!”
then god himself stepped down —
and the sun was on his right hand
and the moon was on his left;
the stars were cl~stered about his head
and the earth was under his feet
and god walked, and where he trod
his footsteps hollowed the valleys out
and bulged the mountains up

then he stopped and looked and saw
that the earth was hot and barren
so god stepped over to the edge of the world
and he spat out the seven seas;
he batted his eyes, and the lightnings flashed;
he clapped his hands, and the thunders rolled;
and the waters above the earth came down
the cooling waters came down

then the green grass sprouted
and the little red flowers blossomed
the pine tree pointed his finger to the sky
and the oak spread out his arms
the lakes cuddled down in the hollows of the ground
and the rivers ran down to the sea;
and god smiled again
and the rainbow appeared
and curled itself around his shoulder
then god raised his arm and he waved his hand
over the sea and over the land
and he said, “bring forth! bring forth!”
and quicker than god could drop his hand
fishes and fowls
and beasts and birds
swam the rivers and the seas
roamed the forests and the woods
and split the air with their wings
and god said, “that’s good!”

then god walked around
and god looked around
on all that he had made
he looked at his sun
and he looked at his moon
and he looked at his little stars;
he looked on his world
with all its living things
and god said, “i’m lonely still.”

then god sat down
on the side of a hill where he could think;
by a deep, wide river he sat down;
with his head in his hands
god thought and thought
till he thought, “i’ll make me a man!”
up from the bed of the river
god scooped the clay;
and by the bank of the river
he kneeled him down;
and there the great god almighty
who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky
who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night
who rounded the earth in the middle of his hand;
this great god
like a mammy bending over her baby
kneeled down in the dust
toiling over a lump of clay
till he shaped it in his own image;

then into it he blew the breath of life
and man became a living soul
amen. amen
