A Day
A Day
In the beginning in a dark void space
God created the sun; it was for light
The light was divided from the dark and he called it night
This was the first day.
Then the heavens were created when the water divides
God envisioned white thick clouds and blues skies
The evening and the morning were the Second day.
The land formed for grass, seed and fruit yielding trees
For food to eat and for habitation did this occur?
The evening and morning were the third day.
The light divided from the dark, created the season’s; summer, winter springtime and fall
Day and night and years go pass; for time God created
The stars the moon and all the cosmos too
God saw that it was good.
Now Evening and morning were the fourth day
Lots of living creatures, birds, sea creatures of their kind
Chosen to multiply and refill the earth; the birds fill the air and
Fish and Sea creatures fill the waters as well.
The evening and morning was the fifth day.
Now God spoke and created from the earth cattle; cows sheep and goat; beast of the earth
According to their own kind; each one of its kind.
Then he made man male and female in his likeness and image.
From the dust of ground he sculptured him in perfection; and used the breath of the air to give him life
Then God put the man in a deep sleep to get him a help meet; out of side God took the rib and created the woman. Then blessed them and told them to multiply and fill the earth and take dominion and occupy.
The evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Now all is finished, no more work time to rest.
God blessed and sanctified the seventh day.
