God's energies of long ago He harnessed one by one,
Such that the Lord released their flow outshining every sun,
Such that all matter formed within the Cosmos duly made,
As sun and moon and Earth begin and life is then displayed.
The galaxies then fashioned stars that shine each night above
Yet even more time had to pass until God brought forth love.
When God used dust in making Man and Adam's spirit lived
The Lord had yet another plan, with Eve now Adam's gift.

In charge of all that they surveyed, yet knowledge was their aim,
And so these two then disobeyed with judgements thus to claim.
While promised pardons could be shared, as Cain and Abel knew,
God proved to Cain that He still cared when he, his brother, slew.
There followed generations still, Mankind both bad and good,
Until Christ died upon that hill, as only Jesus could.
But Easter is not everything. Check Pentecost as well,
When Peter preached of Christ as King, the Lord who saves from Hell.

A new creation started then, the Holy Spirit came,
To lost souls who were born again, baptised in Jesus' Name.
This new creation has endured through centuries Christ blessed,
Such that believers get restored once their sins get confessed.
So night and day and day and night God grants these times pass by,
Until the raptured souls take flight and meet Christ in the sky.
That is the Holy Bible's theme, with prophecies galore,
Eternal life is not a dream, but God's gift evermore!
