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
