~ In the Beginning ~
For the Beauty of the Earth
By John Rutter
Arr. or Seq. by Billy Traylor, 1998
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. Genesis 2
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field.And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
But for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
~ Who Else? ~
Who else could form a human
Out of only clay and sod,
Create a chigger or a gnat,
Or perhaps a goldenrod?
Who else could make a bumblebee
Or these beautiful butterflies
And design this lovely sunset,
That could make a grown man cry?
Who else could form an ocean
Or create this windy breeze
And make tons of tiny insects,
Too small for eyes to see?
These scientists have tried, for years,
To build a human clone.
But, can they form a man from dust,
The way God did on His own?
Who else could make the oxen, horses, cattle, even sheep
And form a tiny little kitten, so fluffy, soft, and sweet?
And, who carved out this babbling brook,
Along side this mountain stream?
My friend, these things were not man made.
They were all formed by "Our King"
And evolution had nothing to do
With creating God's biggest dream.

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them and blessed
them, and called their name Adam, in the
day when they were created.
Genesis 1:27, 5:2
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
For as in Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15:22
