It all began one day,
When the Sovereign Lord had
to say:
"Let there be
light."
Then there became day and
night.
Then He created the sky,
How beautiful this must have
been to the eye!
Next He created dwellings for
his creatures-land and seas!
He planned it all out form
huge whales to small bees.
Following this, He created
the sun, moon, and stars;
He even created the planets
and our red Mars.
The next day, He created
those in the sea.
Each according to their kind
that they might be free.
Even there our God did not
quit,
Not until the seventh day did
he rest or sit.
He created those that could
fly,
He allowed them to soar
up in our beautiful sky.
Then on the sixth day, he
created every kind of beast,
But with irrationtal
creatures he did not cease-
He aslo included a perfect
man,
But later from good and into
wickedness he ran.
However, the man called Adam
needed a mate
So God created a woman (who
later altered mankind's fate).
He said it was all good once
He was done.
He had created a
wonderful world under and wonderful sun.
Unfortunately, however sweet this
may be,
And hopefully you soon shall
see,
That this is not where the
story wil end.
The problems that arose took
long to mend.
God put Adam and Eve in a
garden,
It was called the garden of
Eden.
It was a most perfect and
wonderful place,
And it was compromised
of everything with its own space.
Adam and Eve were perfect and
they walked with God.
They lived perfectly, so
there was no need for a rod-
Or at at least until
they disobeyed the Lord;
After that, God had to guard
Eden with a sword.
God gave Adam one rule they
must follow-
The fruit on one tree they
must not swallow.
But Sated tempted
unsuspecting Eve
And all of humanity was in
trouble because she was deceived.
After she ate because of that
cruel snake,
She gave some to Adam, it put
all of humanity at stake!
Then God had to kick them out
of that holy place.
And on our dirty earth, where
they had to continue a sinful race.
Their offspring in number
became great.
But they had fallen into an
excessively corrupt state,
Every person was completely
evil and twisted-
The number of righteous on
earth could be easily listed!
But Noah was a man upright in
heart
And he was chosen to play an
important part.
He would save his family and
some animals from a flood,
But all the other evil
persons would drown in water and mud.
So God told Noah to build a
big boat.
And put 2 of every animal
on it-from ants to goats.
The big boat was then called
an ark.
On our history, it has left a
huge mark.
He told Noah to gather seven
of each clean land animal kind,
But for this arduous task,
God put it in those animal's minds,
To come, because rain was
coming, so that they shall be saved,
However, the people didn't
come, so a terrible end they paved.
Noah was on the ark for 150
days and nights,
Imagine that, all he saw were
the same boring sights.
Since they were on the boat
that long-
When they got off, Noah
worshiped God with his own type of song.
After it all dried up there
was no one alive,
Except for those on the boat
and those that did dive.
God made a promise by putting
a rainbow up in the sky-
He said that by flood never
again would the whole earth die.
The world once again with
life did it restore;
With bugs that bite, birds
that sing and lions that roar.
However, the people still
sinned once again,
But because of laws it was
not as wicked as it had once been.
Even though the people sinned
no where near as before,
Because of their sin, to
heaven they still needed a door.
But God planned a way for us
to be saved,
Jesus became that perfect
door, and our way to heaven he paved.
Jesus was God's son who came
and lived on earth,
And he came by the way of a
virgin birth.
He was born in the little
town of Bethlehem,
As for his family tree, King
David was his stem.
He grew in wisdom and in
stature and in favor with God and man,
And we should try to
represent our Savior as best we can.
Its hard though, because he
lived a completely perfect life,
And He died for us, He died
for me and you with horrible strife.
While he lived on earth, he
healed the lame and the blind,
And with His wonderful love
He transformed and transforms many person's minds.
He did many amazing things we
couldn't imagine.
He was tempted like we are
today, but never once did he sin.
He could quote the Old
testament Bible very well,
And likewise on our Bibles we
should dwell.
Jesus made a way for us to
have God as our friend,
And we can understand that He
is with us to the very end.
Jesus walked on the water,
fed five thousand men,
Plus he fed to the fill many women
and children..
He did this all with five
loaves and two fish,
He fed about ten thousand
with one little boy's dish.
During his ministry, Jesus
taught us very much,
Of His divinely inspired
teachings were such-
Love your enemy, pray for
those who persecute you,
Love God with your all,
and to all others good you shall do.
He also told us that we
needed to be born again,
Born by the Holy Spirit of
God, not by our women.
We can not conform to the
pattern of those around us,
And to be a living sacrifice
for God we must.
We must follow the pattern
set by Jesus our Savior.
His love for us was so strong
he made himself a door,
For us to get to heaven and
live with God, he died in great pain,
And now we should allow the
Holy Spirit in our lives to reign..
Right before he died he was
betrayed by Judas his friend.
His life came to a very
treacherous and terrible end.
They whipped him and mocked
him and put a crown of thorns on his head,
But up on the cross, He asked
God to forgive them by what he said.
You see, God sent His only
Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you and for me,
So that from now on, when we
Christians die, God we will see!
But this tale of love and
sacrifice will not end just quite yet,
And this story, even after
the end of our world, will never set.
You see, after three days in
the tomb Jesus rose from the grave!
So those who wanted it can
be from eternal damnation saved.
Now Jesus's death and
ressurrection is completed in me and you,
Because when you ask him
into your heart, you life in Christ becomes new!
Tell everyone that Jesus
Christ died and rose from the grave,
And to everyone who believes
and confesses life Jesus gave
When He died that most
painful death on the cross,
So that those who believe may
suffer no ultimate loss
