Genesis 1 · Grade 2
God Made the World
Read the Story
Before anything else was here, God was there. In the beginning, God made the heavens and the earth.
On the first day, God said, Let there be light, and there was light! God made the sky, the dry land, the seas, and green plants. He made the sun to shine in the day and the moon and stars to shine at night.
God filled the seas with fish and the sky with birds. He made animals of every kind. Last of all, God made people. God looked at everything He had made, and it was very good.
