[Verse]
A man of five centuries
Strong as a tree
With faith as his anchor
He built on the sea
The animals came
In pairs they did stay
Fifty thousand souls
All in one day
[Chorus]
Oh Noah
Your hands carved the way
A vessel of hope through the waters gray
The flood came to cleanse
To wash the decay
On the selfsame day
They boarded to pray
[Verse 2]
The lions roared loud
The doves flew in peace
The wolves and the lambs found a moment’s release
The ark was their home
Their shelter
Their claim
In the tempest of wrath
They all bore His name
[Bridge]
The rain came in torrents
The sky lost its hue
But inside the ark
The promise was true
Each heartbeat a rhythm
Each step a hymn
In the belly of hope
The world grew dim
[Chorus]
Oh Noah
Your hands carved the way
A vessel of hope through the waters gray
The flood came to cleanse
To wash the decay
On the selfsame day
They boarded to pray
[Verse 3]
Forty days and nights
The waves sang their song
The ark held its course
Though the journey was long
Through judgment and mercy
The waters did part
And a rainbow of promise lit every heart |
