CREATION

God took a little shadow,
and made the darkest Night.

He took a tiny flicker,
and made the sun so bright.

He took a little moisture,
and made the oceans wide.

He took a little bit of green,
and made the countryside.

He took a little molehill,
and mad a mountain grand.

He took a little pile of soil,
and made a mighty land.

He threw some diamonds in the air,
and made the stars that shine.

He made the fish and animals,
and birds of every kind.

He planted food for everything,
His mighty hand had made.

He gave them fruit, and gave them grain,
and trees to give them shade.

He took a little bit of dust,
and made a man with care.

He gave him life, and gave him soul,
his fellowship to share.

He gave the man a helpmate,
because He understood.

He put them all together,
then He called Creation "good"
