In the beginning God created The heavens and the earth It was formless and void And darkness covered it Above the waters of the deep God’s Spirit began to move And then God said Let there be light And there was light God saw it was good The light of day, the dark of night And just as He said So it was made This was the first day Then God spoke into the waters Separating it low and high And in the middle of it all An expanse that He called sky There was evening; there was morning Now completing the second day And then God said Let waters flow In one place gather Dry ground appear With plants and trees be covered God saw it was good The things that He had mad And it was the third day God spoke the sun shining bright Filling the earth with light He spoke the stars and the moon To govern the sky by night It was vast, it was good The fourth day now complete And then God said Waters alive With living creatures Birds in the sky All across the planet Each after their kind Increase in numbers And it was the fifth day Then God spoke unto the earth To birth by His command All the creatures great and small That would move upon the land So was formed each to their kind All the animals tame and wild And then God said Let us make man in our image Bearing the likeness of God Created for blessing and purpose The man and the woman He made And it was the sixth day In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God

Adam's Song 04:50
First breath breathing life First time I’d open my eyes I see such beauty set before me Sunlight dancing through the trees Up I look blue I see The skies stretching out above me Awe and wonder fills my heart I can feel a gentle breeze I hear a voice call to me My name, I’m sure that’s my name Adam - from the ground I came Then I looked into my Father’s eyes “So very good” He said of my life But oh most precious would I find The moment that He smiled at me And He said; “My son” In the garden full of life Rivers splashing streams alive Crabs and fish Whoah! I’ll call you hippopotamus Birds are fluttering around Singing with a chirping sound Up high I’m calling you an eagle Awe and wonder fills my heart Joy to see the world alive Pairs of creatures roam around But where is the one for me Longing where is she? Then I looked into my Father’s eyes And I knew all would be alright Willingly the deepest sleep I give a little part of me So I could see my Eve The moment comes this is right I stand here waiting for my bride Here she comes oh what a sight Walking by the Father’s side Then I take her hands in mine And we look into our Father’s eyes He declares we are husband and wife From the start this was on God’s heart A man and woman forms their bond of love As two become one

The Fall 06:15
God created all things perfect He made everything good He understood what was needed To make a world and complete it That’s when He thought of you In His image He made Adam Placed inside him every person contained In his loins Carried the seed of the nations Adam’s descendants But he couldn’t conceive, so God made another One with a womb, Eve would be mother Of every soul to ever walk the earth She’d be the first one to give birth In the garden came another Fallen angel as a serpent he speaks To the woman Trading a lie for a kingdom Earthly dominion There stood Adam by the woman Saying nothing also buying the lie Eats fruit forbidden Innocence lost, eyes wide open Offspring now broken So they both hid away, shameful and naked Shying away from the call of the Maker Freely they had chosen the sting of death The grave open’d wide – in sin they would die But God intervened made a sacrifice An animal slain - the first to die With the shedding of blood For the sake of man Their nakedness clothed by leathery robes Tears on their face raining down Life in God’s garden now gone Creation starts groaning in pain It’s beauty and splendour slips away Hear the prophets through the ages Always looking to the Saviour who’d come crush the serpent Lifting the curse from creation Bringing redemption In the fullness of time Came this sign God would be born through a woman Spirit conceived in a virgin Reclaiming His kingdom The light of the world Invading the darkness Breaking our chains He’s freeing the hopeless He’s binding up the wounds of our broken hearts Jesus had come God’s only Son Giving His life as a sacrifice Embracing the cross He pays the cost Defeating death He rose up from the grave So we can be clothed In heavenly robes

Cain & Abel 04:57
Cain came from Eve Being one of many children Working his land – His crops and his vineyard Close to his brother Abel the younger A tender of sheep From the flocks he had gathered They both worshipped the Lord With the portions they would bring Cain brought fruit from the land His choice for an offering But Abel knew the cost Slays a firstborn from his flock So found favour with God But his brother did not Down cast Cain was down cast Angry at the Lord Offended and sore He became down cast God speaks Cain hears God speak Just do what is right So bring me delight But at your door lies sin Refuse to let it in Cain called his brother Let us walk together Follow me into the field There’s so much to be seen But there he struck him down Abel’s blood stained the ground Now there’s blood on his hands Cain has slain another man A growing darkness in his heart Tries to hide it from the Lord No repentance – just pretence Sinking deeper into sin Then it came – the dreaded question Deep to his conscience How could he answer “Where is Abel your brother!?” Down cast Angry and down cast "I don’t know" he would answer "Am I my brother’s keeper?!" So angry and down cast God speaks – painfully God speaks "What is this you’ve done? His blood cries from the ground Now you will be cursed A restless wanderer" Driven from the ground Wandering around He does not want to be found Lost in the ways of sin Far from the Lord And so fearful of men A growing family Would their eyes not see How blinding pride can be And even to this day People run from God Choose to follow their own ways But still God speaks

By Design 03:43
A sleepy Monday morning Sunshine on my bed Slowly I start waking The first thing that I said It has to be Creation by design I look outside my window Clouds passing by A blue and white tapestry That race across the sky I have to say A beautiful design Oh what do I see A beautiful world all around me Engineering to its core It speaks of something more The welcome smell of coffee Drifting through the air Beckons me to start the day And push aside my cares Aroma therapy Pleasantly designed A bowl of fruit for breakfast A rainbow I can eat Colours bright and beautiful Wholesome and sweet Thankfully Tasty by design Oh what do I see A beautiful world all around me Engineering to its core It speaks of something more Laughing, dancing, celebrating Sing your songs of joy Making memories Missing family Leaving a legacy It’s more than just design Oh what do I see A beautiful world all around me Engineering to its core It speaks of something more

Noah 05:24
Humanity now fills the earth With daughters given them in birth Sons of God came down Took for themselves daughters from man These are they who disobey Not keeping to the place God gave Inflicting hybrid pain And so was born, the Nephilim The Lord did see the human race Makes the earth a wicked place Their every thought and deed Evil bent exceedingly The heart of God floods with pain Now regrets the man He’d made And so the Lord did weep And judge the earth with waters deep Noah was a righteous man Blameless in his day Walked with God so faithfully His righteousness proclaim By faith he saw the things to come And so in holy fear Would build an ark the world to save While people mocked and jeered The flood was drawing near A wicked generation Fills the earth with violence Corrupting all their ways Destructive in their sin and their shame And so did God his judgement speak A flood would come the world to sweep Destroying all of life Everything with breath would die With you I make a covenant You, your sons and wives Into the ark you’ll enter in A shelter to survive Every creature I will bring Two of every kind Male, female, wild and tame In the ark be kept alive This flood you will survive So build the ark Gofer wood Three levels high Make rooms in it Use pitch to coat Inside and out A roof with openings 'roundabout Three hundred cubits long Fifty cubits wide Thirty cubits high A single door on its side My judgement you’ll survive You will survive, righteous Noah Finding grace in my eyes I’ll keep you alive This flood you will survive

The Flood 04:06
So God Speaks… Righteous Noah – it is time Board the ark so – you’ll survive Final moments – now have come Seven days are – counting down I have measured – set aside 40 days – and 40 nights From the heavens – rain will pour Till all breathing creatures are no more Noah listened – called his sons Bring your mother – bring your wives Let us shelter – on the ark Escape the waters – of the flood Then they marvel – a miracle God now brings – the chosen animals Two by two they come – male and female According to their kind; as God provides Instrumental: Fear and trembling – shock and awe As the Lord now – shuts the door A growing rumble – from on high Terror forming – in the sky Then the shaking – a mighty roar From the deep – waters bursting forth Flood gates open – from the heavens Rain keeps pouring down and floods the ground Bridge: Raining and raining Waters come pouring 40 days and nights The flood keeps on coming Higher and higher The ark keeps on rising (Ooh) a deluge of rain Flooding the whole earth Still increasing – more and more Waters rising – over the earth Every dry land – under water Every mountain – now submerged So did perish – every creature Every one who breathed the breath of life No more people – beast of birds Only in the ark – did they survive

Remember 07:03
Afloat on the waters – day after day Glad for the sunshine – after the rain Hearing the splashing – feeling the motion Adrift in the ark – the world is an ocean The memory of dry land Now seems so distant Hard to believe – the world be so different But here on the ark – our family survives Trusting tomorrow – the Lord will provide again Our hope is in the Lord That He will save like before ‘Cause You You made the moon and stars You told me to build this ark So we are saved Your marvellous deeds Your marvellous grace Remember Remember your servants here The animals placed in our care (Please) hasten the day Lord make a way That we might see dry land again Our home is a refuge – by God’s design Rooms filled with creatures – on every side Our days filled with feeding – scrubbing and cleaning Amazed at them all – the small to the tall At night time the wonder – the dark comes alive Billions of stars – alight in the sky The sea like a mirror – a glittering dance Reflecting the glory – of heaven’s expanse Our hope is in the Lord That He will save like before ‘Cause You You made the moon and stars You told me to build this ark So we are saved Your marvellous deeds Your marvellous grace Remember Remember your servants here The animals placed in our care Hasten the day Lord make a way That we might see dry land A shift in the wind A move on the bow Water receding A thud from below Mountains appearing Waters are clearing Joy in the air Our freedom is near You remembered Placing your bow in the sky A covenant ring on high The rainbow You gave Never again flooding the earth By your mercy Now we can start again Increasing and bearing new life Commanded to go – fill all the world And live for Your glory again

Babel 05:38
Carved by the flood – mountains and valleys Vast plains below – we build a brand new home Time flows along – children were born From Noah’s sons – unfolding generations One common tongue – only one language God’s clear command – to spread to all the lands But No – we won’t go – we can do things better Our destiny our own – we choose to stay together Strong with brick and mortar Build ourselves a fortress A city on the plains of Shinar A high and mighty tower Reaching to the heavens Making a name for ourselves We care for nothing else Working out our plans – with strength in our hands This tower shouts our fame – How great is our name! Look what we have done – see what we can do Anything we choose – all we set our minds to But high above this tower From the highest heavens The Lord now descends upon their fame Tweaking prideful speaking Confusing boastful talking Languages be born from this place From Babel now displaced So groups of people travelled Over the horizon Looking for a place to make their home And all throughout the ages Over history’s pages The story of the ark and flood still dwells As ancient cultures tells

1. From the rising of the sun To where it sets the Lord be praised Ev’ry tribe and tongue Sing to God a brand new song Ev’ry nation praise Make Him great Bless his holy Name Oh come and bless his Name All the people ‘round the world Join in song to praise the One Who made us all Lord we praise You for the rains For sunny days - as seasons change Thank You - every breath we breathe Is life You give - so good and free For your blessings great and small We thank You Lord 2. All the flavours ‘round the world Aroma, spice, the sights and sounds Colours on display As cultures bloom in their own way Music, poetry - across the lands - from every ocean shore Oh - let your voices roar All the biomes round the world Climate and nature makes a home To live and grow Endless beauty on display From grassy plains - to mountain range Desert colours in the sands Our island shores - our jungle lands Rivers flow into the sea The golden sands where waves roll in Awestruck - look up at the sky The stars at night - how small am I? All creation sings your praise Through every age See his glory - it tells the story Behold your Maker - God! Creator! From every distance - our eyes can listen With all creation - come join the chorus We see your glory - we sing your story You our Maker - our God creator From every distance - our eyes will listen With all creation - we join the chorus (Ps 19:1-4)
