Before the Trees

The man who walked on the face of Earth
Before the seas gave the fishes birth
Before the trees traversed the land
Saw darkness and fear go hand and hand
	
But comes the man who speaks the word
And tells of Him of who none have heard
He tells that He shall save the globe
Of monstrous evils all unheard 

The people believe and ask him to rule
To save their world with his godly tools
And the great Lord said across all His kingdom
He would save them with all his wisdom	

So he reached to the ground and called to skies
And made flowers bloom and mountains rise
And the dark dissolved and showed skies azure
So they made all other idols abjure

But the prophet grew old and it was he who told
The word of the Lord to the young and bold
And the world believed and they spread their love
And had Him in their hearts till they went above
