Creation



Genesis 1
Nothing else was there 
except void and the darkness
And existed God's spirit 

God created heaven
and the earth, which was formless
and was in total darkness

'Let there be the light'
God moved face upon water
and said, there was light looked good

God divided the light
from the darkness, called it day
The darkness part he called night

In midst of waters
said, 'there be a firmament,
Let it divide from waters' 

God made firmament,
and waters in firmament. 
Called the firmament ‘heaven’

'Let come together
waters under the heaven,
Let the dry appear,' God said 

God called the dry, Earths
and gathered waters, The Sea.
And God saw that it was good.

'Let the earth bring forth
the grass, herb yielding seeds and
tree yielding fruits having seeds'

It was so earth brought -
the grass, herb yielding seeds and
tree yielding fruits, God said 'good'

God said there be lights
to divide day and night, and
for signs, seasons, days and years

The lights in heaven
had to give light upon earth
He made mornings and evenings

God made two great lights
Greater light to rule the day,
lesser light to rule the nights

Let the waters bring forth
moving creatures that hath life
and fowl that may fly above

God created abundant
great living creatures and fowl
to be fruitful and multiply

Let the earth bring forth
cattle, creeping things and beasts,
God made all after his kind

God said let us make
Man in our form and likeness
dominion on beast, fowl, fish

God created the man,
In own image and likeness
male and female and blessed them 

God said to the man
be fruitful and multiply
replenish the earth and hold 

And, God said, behold! 
I've given everything 
upon the face of the earth

I have given to
every beast, fowl, creeper,
every green herb for meat
