I. What a great blast
II. Wave upon wave
III. Psalm upon psalm

What a great blast from the start,
blowing divine love apart,
watching bits fly to their stations,
spirited by gravitations!

Wave upon wave of Big Bang
into the universe sang;
God knew how it would begin,
picked up his old violin.

Tuned it to supreme effect,
lifted his bow to connect,
swiftly the Godhead unfurled
dance and love into the world.

Psalm upon psalm to his praise
David and others would raise,
touched by the strings from above,
bowing back solos of love.
