The Creation

Elohim bara, the Spirit, the Word
Spoke light and dark,
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke sea and sky,
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke land, fruit, and seeds,
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke the sun, moon, and stars,
Filling up the light and dark.
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke fish in depths, the birds to fly,
Filling up the sea and the sky.
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke living creatures and fashioned man,
Filling up the vastness of land.
The ending and the beginning.
Spoke of goodness and working hand,
Of joining spirit and matter in man,
Then sighed in content at creation’s span.
The ending and the beginning.
Elohim bara, the Spirit, the Word,
Movement erupts when Your voice is heard,
Hearts, hands, and dust joyfully stirred,
Returning to earth in the virgin birth.
The ending and the beginning.
