And reads his Bible every night

Many, many years ago outside of time and space
God created the Heavens and Earth
For us the human race
Over the waters his spirit moved
He was getting ready to start
But he couldn’t see a blooming thing
It was very, very dark
15 x 18 inches
● Sold
He knew just what was needed
“Let there be light” said God
In the beginning was the word
At sea with Bert and his dog
God saw that the light was good
This he called the day
The night was made to have sweet dreams
When the evening fades away
And the evening and morning were the First day
20x 16 inches
● Sold
Early the next morning
The first day had passed by
God divided the waters
In the middle he put the sky
He made some clouds from cotton wool
A wind blowing in from the West
The heavens above he filled with his love
And angels that were blessed
And the evening and morning were the Second day
10 x 12 inches

On day three he separated the sea
Then he made dry land
The word of God, Bert and his dog stood upon the sand

Fruit trees, herbs, and seeds”

God fixed on the leaves
Everything was going to plan
God was very pleased
And the evening and morning were the Third day

He made two great lights
To rule the day and the night
The stars he hung in the sky

And the years that pass us by
And the evening and morning were the Fourth day

Day 5 was looking busy
So much to get through
Making wings and fishy things
There was a lot of work to do

Made two little fish with orange scales

They were blessed by him

And taught them to swim

There was still lots to do
But God fancied a brew
He said “and so it shall be”
It was five to eleven
So, he popped back to heaven
For angel cake and a cup of tea
24 x 28 inches

After his break the next thing to make
Were the birds, the fowls of the air
He made them all beaks
Some had webbed feet
Gave them some wings and a prayer
He made chicken that clucked
Some quacking ducks
Robins the gardener’s friend
A song to sing so joy they can bring
As the day comes to an end
And the evening and morning were the Fifth day
13 x 16 inches
● Sold
God had a bit of a problem
On day 5 he run out of wings
That night in bed he thought instead
He’d make animals and creeping things
God started with a donkey
But Bert got the measurements wrong
So, the donkey went all wonky
Because one of its legs was too long
30 x 36 inches
● Sold
God made lions, zebras, bumble bees, sheep, and porky pigs
Hedgehogs, cats, tortoises, and elephants that were rather big
Some harvest mice, two giraffes that were very very tall
Bert was busy painting their spots in shades of Farrow and Ball
God was working on the zebras
He couldn’t get the colour right
They were a bit too plain so he started again
And gave them black and white stripes

● Sold
The last job to do, not one but two, was to make a woman and a man
God said to Bert “We are running out of parts, but I will do the best I can”
He made them in his image God was very pleased

He told them to go and make babies
“For the will I have given you is free
There’s just one thing, stay away from sin
And don’t eat the fruit on that tree”
13 x 16 inches
● Sold
He said to Bert’s dog “Now I know you love God
So, on you I can depend

Forever you will be man’s best friend”

And as the sun went down that day
He said to Bert “Our work is done

Sunday was a day of rest
It had been a busy week
So they laid down in God’s Garden
And there they went to sleep
“For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven and that are in Earth”
