In The Beginning
IN THE BEGINNING
Words & Music by Stephen Elkins

Chorus
Genesis (Genesis)
Verse one-one (verse one-one)
In the beginning God created
The heavens and the earth

Day one, He made the light
Darkness did abound
He called it day, and by the way
No earth was spinning ‘round
Day two, He made the waters
It’s enough to laugh
I’m reminded every time
I have to take a bath

repeat chorus

Day three, guess what He made
Sailors shout hoo-ray!
The seven seas all came to be
On that special day
Day four, He made the starshine
The sun and moon above
In heaven’s light on starry nights
I see our Father’s love

repeat chorus

Day five, He made the sparrows
And every bird that flies
And all the creatures in the sea
God made them on day five
Day six, He made the animals
Both big and small you see
And on that day (hip-hip-hooray)
God made Adam and Eve

I want my money, said the youngest one
So he packed his clothes and he went away
Wanting to have some fun
He spent his money ‘til it all was gone

A famine came, no food he’d find
He took a job just feeding swine
Then he said to himself, what have I done
I’m going home today
He left the pigs, he was on his way

He said to his dad, please hire me
To be your son, I am not worthy
But his father said to his servant there
Bring a robe, shoes and a ring
My son is home, rejoice and sing

For this son of mine was dead
And now has come to life again
For he was lost, very lost
Now he has been found
The lesson is, God will forgive
The lesson is, God will forgive

Crown Him With Many Crowns
CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS RAP

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul and sing
Of Him who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity

Crown Him the Lord of love
Behold His hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight
But downward bends His wondering eye
At mysteries so bright

Crown Him the Lord of heaven
One with the Father known
One with the Spirit
Through Him given
From yonder glorious throne
To Thee be endless praise
For Thou for us has died
Be Thou O Lord through endless days
Adored and magnified
