And So It Was Poem by JOY JOHNSON

Yes God loved the world
He created it
The skies, sea's and rivers flowing here and there
The ocean and everything that's in it
The moon for light at night
The sun for light by day
Yes God so loved the Earth and all that he made

Then it is true that God created a man
Adam then Eve from his bones to her bone
Strangely when he created mankind
God was not alone

The Cheribums his Angels
Who else was there
God created the creatures
That fly through the air
He made animals and birds
Then trees and grass and dirt
Yes it is true that God so loved the Earth

After he looked at what he created
He numbered the days
And on the 7th day called the Sabbath
Yes that's when the good Lord God rested

The Heavens is where God dwells
High up above a firmament divided by the Earth
God looks down below the clouds
Where water gathers up then rains back down

The Stars God created them too
Bright as they shine a twinkle in the night
A galaxy of clusters a float a rock
Asteroids rotate and float about
Cupids Comet lays close to the Dippers art
Stars are special they say a lot
Astrology man calls it messages from God

Yes God created the Earth and all that's there in
The mountains up high hold peace within
The hill side mount up and down
The stones and rocks of multiples
Crystal, Diamonds, Ruby and Onyx, Turquoise are rare
Gold and Silver Yes God put them there

Large stones of rocky mountain sometimes erupt
All colored with clay gray black hot stuff
As God formed the potter the Earth where we stay
He made them by hand like the potter to the clay
Worms of silk, butterflies of moth
Crickets that sing
Grasshoppers hop
Cows that mew
Dogs that bark
And Tigers that Growl

Jungles of vines and branches up high
Trees of style tall black long or short
Then rows of flowers all colored so bright
Lilies that sway from left to right
Fields and valleys to lookout and stare
God created them all yes he placed then here

God made the seasons to come and go
Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall all in a row
The Snow of ice so white and pure
The hail that knocks hard when God throws down
A sign that tells us God's not pleased at all

Have you ever heard the voice of God
Listen closely as he swores across the sky
He zooms swiftly riding on a cloud
Darkened by the suns glorious light
It sounds like he's surfing across the sky

And all the plants, Yes God created them too
In all sorts of sizes a variety no one can compare
For everything God created here there was goodness there

In his word as he speaks
God tells us the Earth is his footstool
This means that God is really Great
He's far more Bigger than the Earth's Universe

So why doesn't mankind obey his word
Why is it that mankind is selfish sometimes cruel
Doing everything commanded by God
Breaking all of his rules

God mad mankind by hand and life was good
A single man lived to be over 900 years old
Today man's life span has surely decreased
Less than 100 years old our days of decease

Yet with all God made
He loves us still
Just look at the Earth and the fullness thereof
Truly God has showered us down much love

I love God I appreciate his good grace
The Earth that he created
The human race
But why have all of his goodness gone bad
Mankind and the Earth troublesome to God

The message is this plainly to see
Believe in God and his Son Jesus Christ to live
His Holy Spirit never seen in sight only felt so good
Time is short and it won't be too long
Before God is going to destroy the Earth and take the good away
And those of mankind that knew him not
Shall be discarded and exempt from God's
Everlasting goodness and loving heart.
