The Elohim of Israel, creation’s architect,
Took each day and fashioned it, knowing what came next.
At the end of each glad daytime, when the sun began to set,
The artist and recorder said: “It is good” and yet –
Those days in individual tones were perfect like He said,
But building up to what God saw, the first was light that led.
Light woke up what He planted, and the picture took its fill.
Of all the blessings God’s hand planned, you were His finest still.
Refrain:
It was good for creation and was well done by the Lord.
God’s eternal favor was a grace He could afford.
Each day of creation prepared the place God had for man,
With God’s anthem “Calvary’s echo” sounding out His plan.
The river of life swept into the cavern we call earth,
And light came forth from darkness, declaring all its worth.
He separated dark from the light form, but kept darkness as a sign,
To visualize that light in Him connects to His lifeline.
The tools retained were aptly used to realize this plan.
The water, base element of earth, and dust, the Son of Man.
Though on their own they stand real still, not a movement we can find,
But with the finger of God’s power, eternity is mine.
Repeat refrain:
Just like when bricks are seen in full, each built upon the last.
So God’s days of creation were finished in the past.
Each day unveiled the picture more, which our God, Himself, saw first.
That forming dust with living water would quench man’s immortal thirst.
God did this all so we could find His garden of delight.
Which in the truest sense is the paradise of sight.
The God walked in Eden, came to earth within our night,
And gave His life on Calvary so our darkness would come to light.
