In The Beginning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the beginning there was heaven and earth
The heavens were high and the earth was green
And there was day and there was night
And the length of hours stretched between
In the beginning though the world was my own
I sorrowed for something I knew not of
And God was kind and with careful hands
He brought me love
And God was kind and with careful hands
He brought me you
