He commanded the souls
Of all that was good
To create earth's spirit
Where Adam once stood- -
Then nature was born
Growing grass, herbs and trees
To fulfill the upcoming
Human needs- -
Blessing each day
With love and delight
Creating the heavens
With celestial light.

The great water spirits
Swam oceans wide
While the spirits with wings
Graced the cloudless blue skies- -
The lamb and the lion
Together they laid
As the ancient ones
Tried to obey- -
The Lords commandments
To go forth, multiply
Knowing they needed
The tree of knowledge denied.

Mother Eve held
Knowledge in her hand
And shared it with Adam
To bring forth all man- -
Knowing this action
Would change everything
From celestial glory
To temporal beings- -
With all the spirits
Created by God
Now encase in a body
Pushed from kolob.

It wasn't just they
Who were transformed
But the earth and the oceans,
Plant life and animals reborn- -
Into what seemed
Like a lone, dreary place
After Eden's eviction
And nature displaced- -
With fear of meat eaters
Drought, weeds and tares
Nothing came easy
As they managed with care.

The earth God created
Had a celestial soul
Filled with purest love
For our parents of old- -
So the earth will return
To that heavenly state
As Christ will return
To the righteous and make- -
Known to mankind
What they knew once before
For Jesus the Christ
Is Jehovah our Lord.
