In the Beginning Lyrics

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void;
And darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said,
Let there be light
And there was light.

And God saw the light,
That it was good...
