Verse 1:
Out of the dust and the earth so wide,
God spoke the word and gave them life.
The cattle roam, the creatures crawl,
Each in its place, He made them all.
Livestock grazing on the hills,
Wolves run wild, chasing their fill.
From the tiniest ant to the lion’s pride,
They all were made, each one by His design.
Chorus:
According to their kind, they were made to be,
Living in the land, on the earth and sea.
From the creatures that crawl to the birds that soar,
God saw it was good, and He made some more.
According to their kind, by His perfect hand,
Each one a creation in this vast, rich land.
He gave them life, every beast and bird,
And the world was alive with His mighty word.
Verse 2:
Then God said, “Let’s make mankind,
In our image, strong and divine.
Let them rule, let them care,
For the earth and sea, and the skies so fair.”
The fish in the waters, the birds on the wing,
All living creatures to His glory sing.
Mankind would stand, with wisdom and grace,
To watch over the world, a holy place.
Chorus:
According to their kind, they were made to be,
Living in the land, on the earth and sea.
From the creatures that crawl to the birds that soar,
God saw it was good, and He made some more.
According to their kind, by His perfect hand,
Each one a creation in this vast, rich land.
He gave them life, every beast and bird,
And the world was alive with His mighty word.
Bridge:
In His likeness, He made us stand,
To tend the earth, to hold His plan.
To love the creatures, great and small,
As He gave them life, He gave us all.
Final Chorus:
According to their kind, we were called to lead,
To nurture the land, and plant every seed.
From the wild to the tame, it’s all by design,
And God saw it was good, in His time.
According to His will, by His loving grace,
He breathed His life in every place.
He made the land, He made the sea,
And gave His heart to you and me.
Outro:
According to their kind, we stand side by side,
With the world in our hands, and God as our guide.
