Say, I'll bet you didn't know that way,
way back,
Clear back to the end
A
of the sixth day of creation,
D
the Lord was mighty tired
after all that work
G
of making the sun, the moon,
and the earth.
G
What's more, on top of all that,
Bm
He'd made Mr. Adam an d Mrs. Eve,
C
plus elephants, rabbits,
lightning bugs, polar bears,
C#dim
lots of other walking, flying,
A
D
creeping creatures too numerous to even mention.
Bm
Anyway, the Lord had
C
surely earned
G
His seventh day of rest,
A
But as he turned to go,

a sudden thought made him stop.

and then he picked up another
little piece of clay.

After shaping it to his liking,
C
G
he reached up on a shelf
and took a pinch of courage,
a dab of humility,
D
six grains of faithfulness,
Cm
a dash of ugly peals,
and a good big handful of
solemn wisdom.
G
Putting all this into the
little animal he had fashioned
Fm
Cm
for a very special time he knew would come,

and sent it down to earth.

in cold or rain or heat.

with Mary and God's Son.
