The Lord had made me at the start,

Before His works of long ago;

A creation from His heart,

Created where blessings do flow.

I was formed in ancient times,

Long before the earth began;

Prior to when there were crimes,

Causing a corrupted man.

I was born before the depths,

Before water filled the springs;

Before making the first steps,

Before the birds got their wings.

I was born before hills raised,

Before the mountains had grown;

Before the time man had praised,

The Almighty on His throne.

 Long before He mand the land,

Or the first soil on earth;

A place so spacious and grand,

Flourishing having new birth.

I was there to plant Heaven,

Laid out the ocean surface;

A place where fish are given,

As a majestic canvas.

He place the sky up above,

Fountains of oceans gushed out;

All creatures filled with His love,

And having no forms of doubt.

He set limits on the sea,

Not violate His command;

But enabled to flow free,

Wind makes waves to His demand.

He laid out the foundations,

And I was a skilled craftsman;

Ensured no violations,

Interfered within His plan.

I rejoice within His world,

Delight in the human race;

How His plan has unfurled,

For giving His love and grace.

Listen to me and be wise,

Ignore not what God has done;

Be sure to open your eyes,

All given under the sun.
