Day One, You came to me

Day One

You came to me

Brooding so tenderly

You spoke a word to me

And light did shine.

My darkness You effaced

My emptiness replaced

The gospel’s light erased

My history vain.

Day Two did come and go

But one thing I did know

Things earthly lost their glow

They’re dead to me;

The atmosphere expanse

Lifted my circumstance

That life may thus advance

For growth in me.

Day Three

the land so dry

Emerged from waters high

Grass

herbs

and trees did rise

Your life had sprung.

My death You now recede

As life do rise in me;

Rise more ’til there’s no sea

Within my being.

Day Four

the sun did shine

With rays of healing light

The moon was shining too

The church

my home.

The saints as stars with light

Shine ’midst this darkening night

Setting my feet aright

To walk Your way.

Day Five

the fish arrived

Against the worldly tide

Death waters they survived

With life empowered;

From fish to bird I soar

By waiting on You

Lord

Your grace to me affords

Strength o’er all things.

Day Six

from air to ground

Cattle and beasts around

Then all creation crowned

With man—like You.

Through growth expressing Thee

With Your authority

I’d reached maturity

Your purpose gained.
