From the vast expanse of darkness looming all around
Came the voice of the Creator, and the glowing light was found
“Let there be!…”was His great statement,… and it quickly came to pass
“It is good!”…..was then His comment,…light divided from ..darkness
And God called the light the ..“Daytime.. and the darkness He called ..“Night”
And the evening and the morning were the first day,…His delight!!!
His delight to form the waters ,…and divide the firmament,…
And then he called it “Heaven ”…and the second day was spent
“Let the waters under heaven be gathered to one place”
On the third day dry land appearing brought a smile upon His face
God called the dry land “Earth”,… and the waters He called “Seas”
He saw that it was good,… and He was very, very pleased!
And God said, “Let the earth bring forth,…the grass,.. the herb,.. the seed
And the tree yield forth it’s wondrous fruit ,”…..and it was good indeed!
The fourth day brought the seasons and the signs for days and years
“Greater light, and lesser light”…He also hung the “stars and spheres”
And then on the fifth day,… He put the “fish” into the seas
And made the “fowl” to fly above the earth with graceful ease
On the sixth day he formed “cattle,…and every beast after it’s kind”,..
“man in His own image”, and “ dominion…on all they’d find”
On the seventh day God rested,…and we,…should do the same
Let us drink in all creation,….and praise His Holy name!
Be in awe of His great power,…His mere “Speaking” brought great things!
Gaze on all creation’s splendor,… and sweet anthems to Him bring….
Hallelujah,… He is worthy,…Hallelujah to our King,
Let us praise our Great Creator,…He created us to sing!
If we don’t the rocks will cry out and the trees sing forth His praise
I will worship my Creator and sing praise through all my days!
