Verse 1 God created the heavens and also the earth, Darkness covered everything from its very birth. The Spirit of God moved upon the waters so deep, He said let there be light and the darkness did retreat. Verse 2 God saw the light and declared it was good, He divided the light from the darkness as He stood. He called the light Day and the darkness He called Night, The first day was finished in His perfect sight. Verse 3 God made the firmament high in the sky, It divided the waters below from those on high. The waters under heaven gathered in one place, Dry land appeared and God called it Earth with grace. Verse 4 The earth brought forth grass and herbs with their seed, Trees yielding fruit according to their kind agreed. God saw that it was good in every way, The third day completed the work of display. Chorus In the beginning God made it all by command, Order came out of the formless and empty land. Through every trial and every human mistake, His mercy and promise never once break. Verse 5 God formed man from the dust of the ground, He breathed the breath of life and life was found. Placed him in Eden to dress and to keep, One tree was forbidden and death it would reap. Verse 6 The serpent was subtle and spoke to the wife, She took of the fruit and it ended their life. Adam also ate and their eyes were now open wide, They knew they were naked and tried to hide. Verse 7 God cursed the serpent down on its belly to go, The woman would have pain in childbirth and woe. The ground was cursed for Adam’s sake with thorns, Yet the Seed was promised to heal all the mourns. Verse 8 Cain killed his brother Abel in jealous rage, Blood cried out from the ground on history’s page. Wickedness spread until the earth was corrupt, Noah found grace and the ark he did construct. Verse 9 The flood came and covered all mountains high, Every living thing outside the ark did die. After many days the waters went away, Rainbow covenant promised a better day. Verse 10 At Babel they built a tower to reach the sky, Languages confused and the people did scatter wide. Abram was told to leave his father’s land, A great nation would come from God’s mighty hand. Final Chorus In the beginning God made it all by command, Order came out of the formless and empty land. Through every trial and every human mistake, His mercy and promise never once break. From Joseph’s forgiveness to the coming King, Genesis shows us redemption’s ring. Outro In the beginning… God. Forever… God.
