The Beginning...Part I

In a void and darkened land I the spirit dwell. From the darkness of that land I caused the light to swell. Over all the darkened world the light shone so bright. The light I called day, the darkness I called night. God then called a firmament, in the midst of the waters gave it birth And when the dry land did appear, God then named it Earth. He gathered then the water, from the land He let it be A divider of the waters from the waters, He named it then the sea. God made a garden from the earth; the grass, the herb, the tree. And it gave forth it’s luscious fruit as you will quickly see. He spoke light in the heavens to divide day from night. The sun by day, the moon by night; to give off it’s great light. He spoke unto the waters and to the sky above Bring forth great whales and such, He spoke it with great love. Be ye fruitful and multiply ye fish that swim the sea. You fowls that fly high in the air; bring glory unto me. All living creatures of the earth, and every creeping thing Multiply your own kind back, one of every living thing. And then God said “let me make my image in a man” And give him dominion over all of sea and land. So out of dust he fashioned him, perfect in every way He breathed His breath into him; it was the sixth day.
