In paradise before death

Let there be a light,
Cloud made of beds, birds and blues
So if I die now
I would boast of God’s divine
Creation of the first heaven

Then he made the trees,
Green to represent his peace
So if I die now
I would boast of God’s insight
To color this room with health

And he made woman
Out of all that he had made
He saw she’d be good.
If I die now, I would boast
I’ve been within a woman.
