In Six Days

A simple poetic account of the Creation story

In Six Days


IN SIX DAYS, IN SIX DAYS
THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH!
IN SIX DAYS, IN SIX DAYS
CREATION HAD ITS BIRTH!

At first He made the light
He spoke and it was so
and then came day and night
the first day thus did go.

The second made the sky
to waters separate
He made it wide and high
to show that He is great!

And then came land and seas
the third day it was so
The Good Lord it did please
to have vegetation grow.

And on the fourth of days
the moon the stars and sun
He placed that we should gaze
and watch their courses run!

And on the day of five
the Good Lord by His word
sea creatures made alive
and formed the flying bird.

And on the sixth of days
came creatures of the land
a vast array did raise
by His almighty hand.

He then created Man
in the image of His own
according to His plan
He made them flesh and bone.

And on the seventh day
God took Himself a rest
and so should we today
if we would do our best!
