Midnight Ascendancy

When the earth was full of violence

And every thought of man was wrong

The Lord looked down in grieving silence On a world that had

gone wrong too long

But one man walked a narrow road

One man's hands were clean

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord

When no one else could be seen

Build the ark, build the ark

Through the rain and through the dark When the floodwaters rise Lift

your eyes, lift your eyes He will set His bow

in the cloud

He will speak His promise loud A covenant that will not break

For every soul He'll make Forty days and forty nights

The fountains of the deep ran wild

The mountains hid beneath the tide

But the ark was lifted high Two by two and seven by

seven Every creature found its place While the rain came down from

heaven Noah trusted in His grace

Build the ark, build the ark

Through the rain and through the dark When the floodwaters rise Lift

your eyes, lift your eyes He will set His bow in the

cloud He will speak His promise loud A covenant

that will not break For every soul He'll make He sent a

raven, sent a dove She came back with an olive leaf A

whisper from the God above That the earth would find relief On

Ararat the ark came down An altar built of stone And the

Lord smelled a sweet aroma And called His children home Set Your

bow in the cloud,

Lord Let me see Your faithful sign Seedtime,

harvest, cold and heat Through the day and through the night Build

the ark, build the ark Through the rain and through the dark

He will never flood the earth again This is the covenant amen

Bow in the cloud,

bow in the cloud He'll never flood the earth again

Bow in the cloud,

bow in the cloud This is the covenant amen
