creación
1 in principio erat Verbum (Gv. 1, 1)
2 vocat quae non sunt (Rm. 4,17)
3 terra autem erat inanis et vacua
et tenebrae super faciem abyssi (Gn. 1,2)
4 et lux in tenebris lucet
et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt (Gv. 1,5)
5 et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas (Gn. 1,2)
6 Spiritus enim omnia scrutatur
etiam profunda Dei (1Cor. 2,10)
.
7 sed ipse Spiritus postulat pro nobis
gemitibus inenarrabilibus (Rm. 8,26)

in the beginning it was the Word
that recalls what isn t
the land was left barren
and darkness enveloped in the abyss face
and light is shining through the darkness
but darkness didn t understand it
and divine spirit over bottom waters –
Spirit searchs out all, even God s depths
.
but the same Spirit is interceding for us,
with inexpressible sighs
