God Was The First

God was 'The First' ~ He walked upon earth Came down from heaven to survey its girth. But darkness fell over water and land until daylight came, at His command. Doubt not my belief in the living God For I have followed where His feet hath trod And doubt not my belief in the Holy Cross Or that Adam lay down with Eve his wife Beneath the budding evergreen of life. God was 'The First' ~ He walked upon earth He came to survey the dawn of each birth, Checked all the seed-bearing plants were growing Checked that the rivers were gently flowing. He heard the call of birdsong at dawn And saw the azure blue sky of the morn. Then Adam appeared from dust of the ground And Adam rested with Eve, his dear wife Beneath the budding evergreen of life.
