AND GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD
In pitch-black stark He stretches hand
Unleashed with love, creative will
And suddenly a void is filled.
A thousand million pulsing forms.
He gifts the void a heart – His own.
The stars, the sun, the moon and sky,
Earth, land and sea, each grain of sand
And mountain range, His sign they bear.
Each coloured leaf, tree, bird and beast
Come from his hand, kneel at his feet.
And then he crowns it all with Man
And Woman, in his image made.
Love’s gift to them : life, breath and food.
He sees it all and it is good.
