God's Promise Fulfilled

He was there when all was void,
He was there when God added sod,
He was there when the sky turned blue,
He was there when the mountains grew.

He watched the seas churn and boil,
And saw the eagles wings unfold,
He felt the sun's warming rays,
And watched it set to begin a new day.

He saw the seedlings each unfurl,
Watched as the volcanic smoke did curl,
Felt the heat in the desert sand,
And saw the winds caress the land.

He was there at the Garden scene
Where Satin first began to scheme
Disguised his tricks tempting man,
Causing Adam and Eve to leave the land.

He was there at Noah's Ark
When God bade Noah to embark,
Satin's curse had caused dispair
Because it seemed man didn't care.

Abraham, Solomon and Moses too,
Just couldn't make God's dreams come true
Of peace and happiness for all man
In every corner of the land.

It seemed Satin had prevailed,
And that God's plans were doomed to fail,
But God had one more plan in mind.
He'd send a Savior for all mankind.

On a cold dark night a Star shown bright
When as a Babe He shared the night
With animals and the chosen few
The Angels sang their carols too.

Through the years, centuries long,
The Son of God has made us strong.
And tho two thousand years have gone
Each Christmas Eve we hear their song.
