[Verse 1] Violence filled the earth and every thought ran wild, Yet Noah found grace and walked before God undefiled. Room by room the ark arose beneath a warning sky, While the world kept moving as though judgment would pass by. [Pre-Chorus] Seven days of waiting, then the fountains broke, Rain erased the mountains under thunder, wind, and smoke. [Chorus] The ark rode high above the deep, While every promise God would keep. When the storm had spent its breath, Mercy carried life across the waters of death. [Verse 2] The LORD shut the door, and the rising flood prevailed, Till a wind crossed the waters and the mountain tops unveiled. A raven crossed the silence, then the dove came home once more, With an olive leaf announcing there was earth beyond the door. [Bridge] Noah built an altar when the ground was dry again, Seedtime, harvest, cold and heat would follow after rain. A bow appeared in clouded light, a covenant in view, Never would a flood again destroy all flesh anew. [Final Chorus] The ark rode high above the deep, While every promise God would keep. From the judgment came a sign, Mercy arched in color through the clearing sky. [Outro] The waters fell, the seasons turned, And in the cloud the covenant burned.
