I see the Earth suspended in space,
The Spirit of God moves upon its face.
And then God speaks, "Let there be light,"
His voice divided the darkness of night,
To reveal the splendor of His countenance bright;
And the glowing magnificence was good in His sight,
But when did He first love me?
The waters above became clouds in the sky;
Waters below became oceans wide.
And the land that was dry was set by the ocean's side,
Creating a tide for the very first time.
The thunderous waves, immeasurable heights,
And peaks of the mountains were good in His eyes,
But when did He first love me?
Out of the ground sprung grass and trees,
Flowers, and fruit bearing seeds.
The sun would rejoice with illuminating heat,
His presence would retreat and the dark sky greet
The moon and the stars, and this would repeat
To make seasons, and days, and years complete.
And God was pleased with all He could see,
But when did He first love me?
The lonely seas were blessed abundantly
With vibrant life to keep them company.
The skies received a beautiful symphony
Of birds harmonizing brilliantly,
And both joined willingly in the ministry
Of praise to the God of infinity
Who loved them unconditionally, in spite of their futility,
But when did he first love me?
Then on day six He made the mammals,
But they were souless animals;
Valuable, yet relationally incompatible.
And so God decided that He'd make a man,
It was all according to His ultimate plan,
That was decided before time began,
But when did He first love me?
And now imagine with His almighty hand,
He scoops up the dust from a parcel of land;
He blows the dust, and then He commands
That the dust take the form of a lifeless man.
As He gazes into the man's deep, empty eyes,
His foreknowledge trasports Him through the portals of time
To the place where this man would disobey
God's only rule -
Leading to an offspring of fools.
They think they're wise;
Their hearts darkened by vanity and lies,
God's glory they would falsify,
And modify, to justify their sinful lives.
He saw the day that His only son would be crucified,
And then arise to give new life;
And even so, they'd still deny
The God that made them to be the apple of His eye.
And with that knowledge of all time and space,
Face to face with the man that would allow sin to enter into the human race,
God breathed in, His love unfazed,
And breathed the breath of life into the man anyways.
And that's when He first loved me.
The Spirit of God moves upon its face.
And then God speaks, "Let there be light,"

To reveal the splendor of His countenance bright;
And the glowing magnificence was good in His sight,
