Lyrics: NOAH'S ARK
– by Adrienne Foster Potter

The Lord revealed to Noah that there would be a flood,
And rain would fill the whole wide world with water, and with mud.
He told Noah he should build a great big wooden boat
From gopher wood and cedar trees and other woods that float.
Noah and his sons began to cut and saw and build.
The people all made fun of them but they refused to yield.
They built three stories on the ark, with windows and a door;
They were doing something that had not been done before.

Soon the ark was finished and they loaded their supplies,
And gathered up the animals and birds and butterflies.
They chose the finest horses and the best of cows and sheep,
And beasts as fast as lightening, and those that slowly creep.
Then the rain began to fall from darkened, stormy skies,
And as the roaring thunder clapped the seas began to rise.
The rain came down in torrents for forty nights and days,
As they were shut up in the ark without the sunshine’s rays.

They worked and fed the zebras, and elephants, and bears,
The cockatoos and kangaroos and lions in their lairs.
Then in the seventh month the ark discovered land and sat
Upon the peaks and mountains in the range called Ararat.
God told Noah it was time to go outside and stand
And let out all the animals to roam across the land.
Then Noah built an altar, to worship God on high,
And God set out a rainbow that glowed across the sky

CHORUS:
Rain will come and winds will blow,
Rainbows come and rainbows go,
All of this helps us to know
That storms and trials help us grow.
