You are the God of beginnings
You were there at the beginning of all things
you spoke and light shone out of darkness
you spoke and the waters were separated
you spoke and the dry land appeared
you spoke and life teemed on the earth
you spoke and we refused to listen
But you are the God of beginnings
and you did not let our false step
take away the goodness of your creation
You give us new beginnings
even when we try so hard
to bring an end to your work
Even though we do not deserve it
begin again with us
