Full Lyrics
I.
Let there be light.
When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth, for the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil.
II.
Let the land sprout with vegetation
every sort of seedbearing plant, and trees that grow seedbearing fruit
let the waters swarm with fish and other life
let the sky be filled with birds of every kind
let the earth produce every sort of animal
and God saw that it was good.
III.
Be fruitful and multiply
fill the earth and govern it
reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals
IV.
The Lord God placed the man in the garden of Eden to tend and watch over it
but the Lord God warned him:
If you break my covenant, I will punish you.
That’s why the spring rains have failed.
The earth mourns and dries up, the crops waste away and wither.
If you follow my decrees and obey my commands,
you will eat your fill and live securely in your own land
and God saw that it was good.
