The world was drowning in its own dark ways
Shadows falling on the human days
But there was one man walking in the light
Pure and blameless in the Maker's sight
God said: Noah, build an ark of wood
To save the righteous and the pure and good

Families gathered, tools in their hands
A floating sanctuary, safe from the land
With every plank, with every nail
Faithful to God, not just for the trial

So let the rain fall down, let the fountains rise
We are safe inside beneath the stormy skies
Though the earth may shake and the oceans roar
The Lord is the One who shut the door
We're riding the waves of a brand new birth
Above the wreckage of a broken earth

Days turned into weeks, then months passed by
Inside the ark, the world's last few sighs
Noah watched as the waters rose
But his faith never wavered, no matter the cost

They laughed at the hammer, they laughed at the sky
For the ground was dusty and the air was dry
But faith doesn't wait for the rain to fall
It stands on the promise and obeys the call

So let the rain fall down, let the fountains rise
We are safe inside beneath the stormy skies
Though the earth may shake and the oceans roar
The Lord is the One who shut the door
We're riding the waves of a brand new birth
Above the wreckage of a broken earth

So let the rain fall down, let the fountains rise
We are safe inside beneath the stormy skies
Though the earth may shake and the oceans roar
The Lord is the One who shut the door
We're riding the waves of a brand new birth
Above the wreckage of a broken earth
