Há Muito Tempo Atrás
Crianças Diante do Trono
A Long Time Ago
It all began a long, long time ago
When the world did not yet exist
Then God spoke: Let there be light, and light came to be
Then God spoke: Let there be the sky and the sea and all that is on the earth and
In the air
Each little plant, desert or stream
Every little stone, every mountain or cliff
Every animal, small or great
Fish, birds, beasts, the insects and reptiles
Every being that breathes or does not, it was God who created
A long time ago
It was then that God created the first man
From the dust of the earth He formed him
Then God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life
And placed him in a garden and gave to him a beloved wife
Adam and Eve, the first family
They lived happily in perfect harmony
God would visit them every day
He would walk with them through the garden
They were friends of God
Friends of God
A long time ago
A long time ago, everything was so beautiful
A long time ago, there were no thorns
A long time ago, everything was perfect
A long time ago, there were no sorrows
A long time ago
