Before - from Songbook for the Church of the Undammed copyright 1991 by G.D. Lafontant

Before the Beginning,
there was Nothing;
and Nothing was
perfect.

Then (rather inexplicably)
Nothing vibrated and
Vibration created Tone;
and Tone rang true.

Thus did Truth enter into being.
And Truth begat Trust,
begat Leisure,
begat Pleasure,
begat Joy,
begat Beauty,
begat Love.

(Oh, and a whole lotta other shit
went down too.)
