Genesis
[Opening Chorus] And there was light where the darkness lay, A word broke night and awakened day. The deep drew back, and the heavens spread wide; The world found rhythm at the Maker's side. And God saw all that had come to be, The earth, the sky, the living sea, And there was light. [Verse 1] Morning and evening answered the call, Waters were gathered, dry land stood tall. Seed-bearing branches lifted their green, Fruit in the garden, bright and clean. Sun for the day and moon for the night, Stars set burning in ordered flight. [Verse 2] Wings crossed heaven, fins filled the foam, Beasts found pasture, each found a home. Dust bore an image, breath gave it worth; Man and woman were placed on the earth. Blessed to labor, blessed to increase, Given a garden, abundance, and peace. [Bridge] No hammer sounded, no army won; The word was spoken, and it was done. Six days of wonder, then striving ceased; The seventh was hallowed, creation at peace. [Final Chorus] And there was light where the darkness lay, A word broke night and awakened day. The deep drew back, and the heavens spread wide; The world found rhythm at the Maker's side. And God saw all, from the great to the small: It was very good, it was good through all. And there was light.
