God rested that day

The Spirit of God comes out of the dark, shapeless void
To take an embryonic mass and breathe life into it.
When God speaks, light comes into existence.
The light conquers the dark,
Then God rested that day.
God made the sky to be beautiful and pretty.
He places it up high.
He positions the earth beneath it.
When he was done, God rested that day.
Now, on the third day,
God took hold of the dry land.
He brought it out of the clear, blue water
By using just His mighty Word.
He named the dry land earth.
The water He named the sea.
As God spoke to the earth,
It brought forth flowers;
Grass and fruit trees grew on the hills.
As the wind rush across the newly formed plains,
He looked at all that was done and was pleased.
Then God rested that day.
Early the next morning,
God’s light moved across the face of the earth.
God calls forth the seasons.
He identifies the days and the years.
With His mighty Word,
He places the sun and the moon high up in the heavens
To reign over the earth.
He says, ‘The sun shall rule in the daytime
The moon shall rule by night.’
When it was all said and done, God rested that day.
The water began to swirl
The fish appeared from everywhere.
Suddenly, all manners of birds appeared in the bright blue sky.
In the deep sea, rapidly appeared
Whales and every kind of sea animals.
God smiled joyously and He blessed them.
He sent them on their way
To fill the waters and to fill the sky.
Then God rested that day.
Out of the muddy brown earth,
God’s Word brings forth all the worlds wildlife.
They occupy the dense forest.
Then God and His Counsel came down to the earth.
They took a part of it.
With this, God molded man.
He shaped man in His image and in His likeness.
God breathes the Breath of Life into man.
When it was all said and done,
God richly blessed His most prized creation.
He gave him dominion and control
Over everything, God ever made.
Then God rested that day.
The job was at last complete.
God looked over what He had accomplished.
Heaven was so beautiful
With the stars twinkling brightly in the night sky.
However, nothing could compare
To the man He had made.
In him, God was pleased.
God declared, ‘ Holy is this day.’
Then God rested that day.
