Lyrics By His Word - Mahalia Jackson

By his word, in the beginning, by his word
By his word, in the beginning, by his word
He divided up the light into day, and into night (ooh)
And he saw that it was right, by his word (ooh, by his word)

Then he made the earth and sea, by his word (ooh, by his word)
And he made the earth and sea, by his word (ooh, by his word)
Made the sun to rule the day, put the moon up right away (ooh)
Put the stars on the Milky Way, by his word (ooh, by his word)

By his word, we start living, by his word (by his word)
By his word, we start living, by his word (by his word)
Over earth, and sky, and sea, he gave us authority (ooh)
And we live abundantly, by his word (ooh, by his word)

By his word, he made the sabbath, by his word (by his word)
By his word, he made the sabbath, by his word (by his word)
Gave us this day of rest, set aside to be the best (ooh)
And the sabbath day he blessed, by his word (ooh, by his word)

And he made the earth and sea, by his word (he made the earth and sea)
And he made the earth and sea, by his word (made the earth and sea, by his word)
Made the sun to rule the day and put the moon up right away (sun - rule the day, moon - right away)
Put the stars on the Milky Way, by his word (stars on the Milky Way - yes, by his word)
