[Intro] In
the
beginning,
God
created
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
Jehovah
spoke,
and
light
came
forth.
From
darkness
to
light,
from
sea
to
land,
Everything
was
made
by
His
mighty
hand.
[Verse 1 — Creation] Day
by
day,
Jehovah
shaped
the
earth,
He
brought
the
light,
He
gave
creation
birth.
He
made
the
sky,
the
oceans
and
the
land,
The
sun,
the
moon,
the
stars
by
His
command.
He
made
the
trees,
the
flowers
and
the
sea,
Every
living
creature,
everything
we
see.
Then
He
made
mankind
in
His
image
divine,
What
a
beautiful
purpose,
what
a
design!
[Pre-Chorus] And
when
His
work
was
finally
complete,
Jehovah
saw
that
everything
was
good
indeed.
He
didn't
keep
working
endlessly—
He
set
a
pattern
for
you
and
me.
[Chorus] You
were
never
meant
to
run
forever,
You
were
never
meant
to
fight
alone.
Even
Jehovah
rested
on
the
seventh
day,
So
don't
be
afraid
to
slow
down
on
the
way.
There
will
be
a
time
when
the
tears
are
over,
There
will
be
a
place
you
can
call
home.
Keep
your
faith
and
trust
Jehovah,
Keep
your
faith
and
trust
Jehovah,
You
don't
have
to
carry
it
alone.
[Verse 2 — The Seventh Day] Six
days
Jehovah
completed
His
work,
Nothing
was
missing,
nothing
was
left.
Then
came
the
seventh,
He
ceased
from
His
work,
And
blessed
that
day,
setting
it
apart.
Jehovah
showed
us
something
beautiful:
Life
is
not
only
about
working
hard.
There
is
a
time
to
work,
a
time
to
rest,
And
trusting
Jehovah
gives
your
heart
peace.
[Bridge] Slow
down,
my
brother,
Slow
down,
my
sister,
You
don't
have
to
run
forever.
Look
at
creation,
look
at
the
heavens,
Jehovah
knows
the
perfect
rhythm.
Work
when
it's
time,
Rest
when
it's
time,
Trust
Jehovah
with
your
life.
You
may
be
tired,
you
may
be
weak,
But
Jehovah's
strength
is
what
you
seek.
[Chorus] You
were
never
meant
to
run
forever,
You
were
never
meant
to
fight
alone.
Even
Jehovah
rested
on
the
seventh
day,
So
don't
be
afraid
to
slow
down
on
the
way.
When
your
strength
is
almost
gone,
Hold
on,
my
brother,
carry
on.
This
season
will
not
last
forever,
Jehovah's
love
will
carry
you
home.
[Outro] From
Genesis
we
learn
the
lesson:
Jehovah
created,
then
He
rested.
Six
days
of
work,
the
seventh
day
came,
He
blessed
that
day
and
gave
it
a
name.
So
when
you're
tired,
don't
lose
your
faith,
Jehovah
knows
your
limits
and
your
days.
You
were
never
meant
to
run
forever...
Rest
your
heart
in
Jehovah.
Oh
Jehovah...
Help
me
know
when
to
work,
Help
me
know
when
to
rest,
And
help
me
trust
You
With
all
the
rest.
You
were
never
meant
to
run
forever.
Jehovah's
love
will
carry
you
home.
