Darkness came
God was there
God spoke
Light came
God was there
God spoke
Creation overflowed
God was there
One day God planted a stake in the ground
"Everything I have is yours
- share it with me or use it for yourselves"
They ate
A different light came
They were hidden from each other
But God was there
"Everything I have is mine"
- but still a voice within whispers of a different way
One day God planted a stake in the ground
"This is my body given for you"
- a gate or a stumbling block
Take, eat
Their eyes were opened
And God was there
"Lord, it's hard to give my body to serve you"
- but the Spirit comes and brings strength within
Still....
Sometimes when we speak
Darkness comes
God be there
Sometimes when we speak
Light comes
God is there
Lord help us speak
"Your kingdom come"
God is here
