Before the First Dawn

Genesis 1:1-2:25

[Verse 1] Before the first dawn, darkness held the sea, The Spirit moved above the silent deep. Then light broke open at the spoken word, And day stood clear where no day had been heard. [Pre-Chorus] Land rose from waters, green life climbed, Sun, moon, and stars kept appointed time. [Chorus] Light filled the heavens, life filled the sea, Every living breath bore the Maker's decree. From dust came the man, from his side came the bride, All was very good beneath heaven wide. [Verse 2] Wing over water, hoof upon the ground, Seed within the fruit and seasons turning round. Adam named the creatures, yet stood alone, Till woman stood beside him, bone of his bone. [Bridge] A garden was planted, a river ran clear, Work had a purpose and love had no fear. One tree marked the boundary, one command stood, And the seventh day rested on a world made good. [Final Chorus] Light filled the heavens, life filled the sea, Every living breath bore the Maker's decree. Male and female bearing the image side by side, All was very good beneath heaven wide. [Outro] Before the first dawn, the deep had no name. After the word, all creation became.
