The Creation Poem by Gert Strydom

The stars started glittering
at His supreme command,
and the wind from His mouth
swept over the deep dark void

and light came from the sun
as His mighty hand
placed sun and moon
in their place in space
and their orbits
started to mark tides,
seasons and time.

The great Creator spoke
and the waters and sky
was shaken into place
and the dry earth appeared
following His divine behest.

The earth dressed at His request
with vegetation, living creatures
of every kind unfolded
to make a place for man.

He created man by His own hands
from the dust
shaping and forming him
into His own image
and with a smile
He breathed live into his nostrils
and man became a living being

and I heard voices
praising the living God,
voices in heaven and on earth,
singing their joy of Him.
