Earth and Heaven
All complete
Only God could accomplish
Such a feat

On day seven
God finished His toil
And He rested from making
The water and soil

He called it holy
And that day He blessed
Not for work
A day of rest

This is the story
Of heaven and earth
How god spoke it all
And gave it birth

No green had sprouted
No tree yet found
For God had not yet
Commanded the ground

There was no rain
No man to till
No one to set
Above the hill

Then went up
A watery spray
That covered the hills
And wet the clay

From the dust
Arose the man
Life was given
By God’s own hand

Yahweh breathed life
And designed mans roll
Into his nostrils
A living soul


A Garden he planted
In Eden to east
And placed man there
To rule the beast

Of all the garden
From every tree
Food for you
A gift from Me

But of good and evil
You shall not eat
For on that day
Death you’ll meet

It is not well
Alone man to be
I’ll make a helper
Her name is she

From out the ground
All creatures He made
Man named them all
With him they stayed

He named them all
Each name took
And they were written
Within the Book

But for man
No helper was found
So God let him sleep
Upon the ground

From man’s rib
A woman was birth
And she became
The mother of earth

Flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone
Now I’ll never
Strive alone


Because of this day
His parents he’ll leave
And unto his wife
Forever will cleave

They both were naked
Yet had no shame
They did not know
Evil’s first name
