THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

to work His many miracles of life upon the world
God created evolution's double helixed swirl
out of the never endless ever to beginning night
a voice spoke out of darkness:

Let there be light

there was a face that moved across the waters over sand
and separated all the seven oceans from the land
and deep in slime and simple proteins bonds began to form
and thus the awesome mystery of life on earth was born

from single cell organic bits of beating in the sea
to combinations of molecules thus life was sought to be
billions of years of swimming ever higher as they can
before a stranger creature rose from the rocks to stand

and over many million years the miracles occurred
leviathans and dinosaurs arising from a word
until at last there was a human being was the first
to realize there was a God who placed us on the earth

to see the beauty of Creation God put out His hand
and gave to man the greatest gift of all:

the capacity to understand
