In the beginning God created
The heavens and the earth
On day one God made light
Light and God was pleased with all He made
On day two sea and sky
Sea and sky light and God
Was pleased with all He made
On day three land plants seeds
Lands plants seeds sea and sky light and God
Was pleased with all He made
On day four sun moon stars
Sun moon stars lands plants seeds sea and sky
Light and God was pleased with all He made
On day five fish and birds
Fish and birds sun moon stars lands plants seeds
Sea and sky light and God was pleased
With all He made
On day six animals humans
Animals humans fish and birds sun moon stars land
Plants seeds sea and sky light and God
Was pleased with all He made
On day seven God took a rest after making
Animals humans fish and birds sun moon stars land
Plants seeds sea and sky light and God
Was pleased with all He made
