It Has Begun

Let there be Let them be gathered Let them produce And it was good Let us make And it was very good Two certain trees Surrounded by a garden Two cherished ones Parents of all men Eve was tempted Adam complicit Nakedness known The gate closed God looked on, Sorrowed, forlorn "It has begun" Let there be Let her conceive Let her choose And she was good Let him live And he was very good One certain tree Not in a garden One cherished one Penance for all men Christ was silent Accusers complained Righteousness sown The nails pierced God looked down, Bleeding and scorned "It is done" Let them see Let them be gathered Let them rejoice The news was good Let him save The news was very good One certain stone Rolled in a garden One promised one Presence to the end Love is moving Always comforting Righteousness known The Son rose God looked 'round, Veil's been torn "It has begun"
