Beginnings

Creator God dwelt outside space and time
the Trinity communed in sacred tongue
with sounds unheard, unspeakable, sublime
they uttered words of their unending love.

With power in God's Word the world was formed
and from His mouth the universe was placed
His Voice so strong, like clapping thunderstorms
God's crowning glory was the human race.

With flaming tongues, God set the sun on high
by His commands, He placed the sea and land
made creatures on the earth and in the sky
and with His Breath, God breathed life into man.

Tis mystery, God's ways we'll never know
yet loved us with His very Heart and Soul.
