Poetry

---

The Lord had made me at the start,
Before His works of long ago;
A creation from His heart,
Created where blessings do flow.

I was formed in ancient times,
Long before the earth began;
Prior to when there were crimes,
Causing a corrupted man.

I was born before the depths,
Before water filled the springs;
Before making the first steps,
Before the birds got their wings.

I was born before hills raised,
Before the mountains had grown;
Before the time man had praised,
The Almighty on His throne.

Long before He mand the land,
Or the first soil on earth;
A place so spacious and grand,
Flourishing having new birth.

I was there to plant Heaven,
Laid out the ocean surface;
A place where fish are given,
As a majestic canvas.

He place the sky up above,
Fountains of oceans gushed out;
All creatures filled with His love,
And having no forms of doubt.

He set limits on the sea,
Not violate His command;
But enabled to flow free,
Wind makes waves to His demand.

He laid out the foundations,
And I was a skilled craftsman;
Ensured no violations,
Interfered within His plan.

I rejoice within His world,
Delight in the human race;
How His plan has unfurled,
For giving His love and grace.

Listen to me and be wise,
Ignore not what God has done;
Be sure to open your eyes,
All given under the sun.
