In the beginning
God created the heavens
And the earth
And it was good
In the beginning
God created the heavens
And the earth
And it was good
On the first day
He made the darkness
And light
On the second day
He made the sky
And water
On the third day
He made the land
And the fruit
In the trees
On the fourth day
He made the sun
And moon and stars
On the fifth day
He made the fish
And the birds
On the sixth day
God made the animals
And on that day
God made man
And on the seventh day
God rested
