God brought forth the light
He cast the dark and shadows off
fleeing from His sight
and like a potter at the wheel
God brought forth a man
shaped and formed an image He
blessed it with His hand
and like the luster of a pearl
a helper, woman, Eve
beauty gentle, curved and new
her love his heart received
and like a serpent's tongue did he
taste the sweetness of the tree
and watched the fall-humanity
sprawl upon the earth
but like a servant king divine
He lived and loved, a Savior mine
upon the cross, the sacrifice
death and then-rebirth
