In the beginning God

John Kulaga 

 

In the beginning God is the one,

That created heaven and earth, and gave it form.

Void and deep darkness that had never been faced,

The spirit of God moved, and the waters were placed.

Now let the light shine, and God called it the day,

Darkness God called night, the divided way.

Firmament of heaven will bring the rain.

Land emerged fertile with coastal plain.

Then mountains and valleys, God seen a great worth,

He brought forth vegetation, and called it the earth.

The sun ruler of the day, and the moon for the night.

These two rulers will bring forth the light.  

God spoke to the waters, and made fish in the seas, 

Placed wings on the birds, so they fly with great ease.

God blessed them and said, "be fruitful and multiply with your kind, 

Now I'll bring forth the beast, cattle and swine".

And God checked it for goodness, all that He'd done.

Well pleased in himself, He said to His Son,

"Let us make man in our image and likeness, and give dominion to rule,

Over fish, fowl, and cattle, that would be cool".

So He created male and female, from the dust of the land,

To multiply, replenish, and subdue all the works of His hand.

Now is the seventh day, but He completed on the sixth,

The foundation of the world, has now been fixed.

And God said, "I will bless the seventh day, sanctify it and rest,

Generations in heaven and earth should all give me their best."
