In the Beginning

In the beginning God created
The heavens and the earth
It was formless and void
And darkness covered it
Above the waters of the deep
God's Spirit began to move
And then God said

Let there be light
And there was light
God saw it was good
The light of day, the dark of night
And just as He said
So it was made
This was the first day

Then God spoke into the waters
Separating it low and high
And in the middle of it all
An expanse that He called sky
There was evening; there was morning
Now completing the second day
And then God said

Let waters flow
In one place gather
Dry ground appear
With plants and trees be covered
God saw it was good
The things that He had mad
And it was the third day

God spoke the sun shining bright
Filling the earth with light
He spoke the stars and the moon
To govern the sky by night
It was vast, it was good
The fourth day now complete
And then God said

Waters alive
With living creatures
Birds in the sky
All across the planet
Each after their kind
Increase in numbers
And it was the fifth day

Then God spoke unto the earth
To birth by His command
All the creatures great and small
That would move upon the land
So was formed each to their kind
All the animals tame and wild
And then God said

Let us make man in our image
Bearing the likeness of God
Created for blessing and purpose
The man and the woman He made
And it was the sixth day

In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
