🔥 About the Song
Welcome to In The Beginning — an easy-listening, island-inspired worship song from The Christian Cowboy Life. This song is all about God’s love displayed through creation. Whether you’re relaxing at the beach, driving with the windows down, or spending quiet time with the Lord, it’s a reminder that everything began with His word and His love.
🕊️ “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1
💬 Behind the Song
The inspiration for In The Beginning came straight from Genesis. The vision was to take the beauty of the creation story and set it to a gentle, uplifting Jamaican-style rhythm — music that feels like sunlight on the water. It’s got a little island soul, a whole lot of Scripture, and the kind of joy only God can stir up in a cowboy’s heart.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the beginning, there was darkness and void
But then God's voice spoke, and light was employed
He separated day from night, a wondrous sight
Creating order out of chaos, pure divine might
(Chorus)
On the seventh day, he rested from his work
Blessing the day and declaring it holy, a perk
Reflecting on his creation, so vast and grand
God's love for us, forever to withstand
(Verse 2)
Next came the sky, a canopy above
God parted the waters, showing his love
Creating space and air for life to thrive
A masterpiece of creation, so alive
(Bridge 1)
His power and wisdom, beyond comprehension
In every detail, we see his intention
(Verse 3)
Then came the land, with vegetation so green
Trees and plants, a beautiful scene
Separating waters to reveal the earth below
God's handiwork, a sight to behold
(Chorus)
On the seventh day, he rested from his work
Blessing the day and declaring it holy, a perk
Reflecting on his creation, so vast and grand
God's love for us, forever to withstand
(Verse 4)
The sun, moon, and stars, shining bright
God placed them in the sky, a majestic sight
Marking time and seasons, with precision and grace
A celestial dance, in endless space
(Bridge 2)
His creation sings of his glory
Each day a new chapter in the story
(Verse 5)
Creatures of the sea and birds of the air
God filled the waters and skies with care
Life abundant, in diverse forms
A symphony of creation, in perfect norms
(Chorus)
On the seventh day, he rested from his work
Blessing the day and declaring it holy, a perk
Reflecting on his creation, so vast and grand
God's love for us, forever to withstand
(Verse 6)
Land animals, livestock, and mankind
God's final touch, the masterpiece designed
In his image, he created us all
To care for his creation, to answer the call
(Chorus)
On the seventh day, he rested from his work
Blessing the day and declaring it holy, a perk
Reflecting on his creation, so vast and grand
God's love for us, forever to withstand
(Outro)
In the beginning, God created it all
His love and power, in every detail, we recall
A song of creation, a symphony divine
In his image, we are made, his love to shine.
