In the Beginnings

In the beginning, He never began
Past eternal life, without start or end
God was with God, loving Father and Son
Rehearsing their plans, before time had come!

In the beginning, God created all
The heavens and earth, creatures big and small
By the word of his mouth in just six days
Genius and majesty awesome--praise!

In the beginning, the fulness of time
God sent forth his Son, in timetable, prime
Expression divine, his personal Word
Jesus Christ, Savior who entered our world!

Human life launches here when we are born
Adam's race, fallen in sin and forlorn
Beginning, anew with eternal life
Spiritual, rebirth from darkness to light!

Heaven's grand finale will never end
New heavens and earth together blend
We'll celebrate Jesus, his love and grace
Alpha, Omega of all time and place!
