Gods Genesis Creation
“1-2First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.” Genesis 1:1-2 The Message
In the beginning was God;
God created the heavens and earth.
The earth was formless and empty;
To light he gave birth.
He then separated the light
From the darkness of the night;
Evening and morning;
The first day of creation’s delight.
God separated water from water
And called the expanse sky.
On the third day he created the ground;
The sea’s boundaries to comply.
God saw that it was good;
So vegetation he created next.
This was the third day
Of the Genesis creation text.
God created two great lights
Called the sun and moon.
They governed the day and the night,
And stars for man to swoon.
On the fifth day God created birds,
To take flight in the air.
Then the creatures of the sea,
With such precision and care.
On the sixth day God created living creatures,
To accompany the expanse of the land.
Wild animals and livestock
Appeared by his great hand.
Then God created man,
To rule over the creatures.
He created man in his own image;
Replicating many of his features.
God blessed all he created
And told them to multiply.
The seventh day he made holy;
Man’s day of rest to supply.
The Lord God formed man
From the dust of the ground;
Placed him in the Garden of Eden,
Where the Tree of Life was found.
All of God’s Creation had a plan;
A background mastermind.
Even the secular scientists,
This fact do now find.
Darwin doubted his own theory,
But not ‘learned men’.
They adopted man’s wisdom;
Denied God’s Genesis Creation.
