Poem
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth But He didn't make the world in just one day, For darkness was upon the face of the deep, And the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. There was no sky. There was no dry ground #1 There was no vegetation, no sun, no moon, no stars. There were no land creatures. There was neither man nor woman, But on the first day, God said, "Let there be light." And there was only light yet God saw that it was good. #2 Separating the light from the darkness He called the light "day" and the darkness "night", And so there was evening and morning, the first day. #3 Yet the earth was formless and empty So on the second day God called an expanse between the waters And separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. He called the expanse "Heaven". It was so. #4 On the third day with His Word God gathered the water under the sky To one place and dry ground appeared, which he called "Earth". #5 The gathered waters He called "seas", And God saw that it was good. #6 He also told the land to produce seed-bearing plants And trees bearing fruit with seed in it. It was so, But still there was no sun, no moon, no stars. #7 There were no sea creatures, no birds and no land creatures. There was neither man nor woman; Yet, God saw that it was good. #8 But because the day and night had no governors, On the fourth day God commanded lights in the heaven To separate day and night and serve as signs To mark the seasons, days and years, and it was so. #9 There were two great lights, the sun to rule the day And the moon to rule the night. He also made the stars And set them in the expanse to give the land light. #10
