Says here in Genesis, one chapter one |
In the beginning God made the earth |
And also says here in Genesis, six chapter six |
That the children of Israel were sinning, a sinning |
What did I say? |
They were a sinning |
That’s exactly what I said |
And when God saw them sinning |
It hurt Him to his heart, it hurt Him so bad |
It made Him mad, it made Him so mad he was angry |
And when God got angry the sky turned dark |
And it was than that he told Noah to build the ark |
Who built the ark, Noah |
Who built the ark, Noah |
Who built the ark, Noah, Noah |
Noah built that ark |
Children stop to steel, listen to me |
God walked down by the Briny sea |
Beheld evil of the sinful men |
Declared that he would destroy the land |
Spoke to Noah Brother Noah stopped |
He said look a here Noah build me an ark |
Won’t you build it big and strong |
Build it 300 cubic long, 30 high, about 50 wide |
I want it to stand my rain and tide |
On this day I make my mark |
In a 100 years I want that ark |
Knocking thru with this evil land |
Not a living thing is gonna stand |
Except the things that I tell to you |
That I gonna need, when the world is new |
I’ve been east and I’ve been west |
I decided to put this world at rest |
I’ve been up and I’ve been down |
Nothing but evil all around |
I’ve seen brother turn against brother |
Up this high and it’ll go no further |
Women weep and children mourn |
Sorry the day that men was born |
Sinful people one by one |
Sorry the day my wrath begun |
Sorry the day my wrath begun |
Sorry the day my wrath begun |
Sorry the day my wrath begun |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
And all this land is my land |
Not a living thing is gonna stand |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
'Cause it’s gonna rain |
Who built the ark? |
Noah. |
Yeah |
Who built the ark? |
Noah. |
Yeah |
Who built the ark? |
Noah Noah |
Noah built the ark |
When after God told him what to do |
Then the work began cut and hew |
Ringing oÃ?Â' the hammer was «judgment» |
Ringing oÃ?Â' the saw «God said repent» |
100 years he hammered and sawed |
Building the ark by the grace of God |
After the foundation was laid |
Hewed down the timber and the ark was made |
Called in the animals two by two |
There was the Ox, the Camel and the Kangaroo |
Hallowed in the monkey and the crocodile |
He even made the animals they couldn’t smile |
Packed them in the ark so tight |
The Owl couldn’t get no sleep at night |
Called in Japheth and Shem and Ham |
God began to flood the land |
Raised his hand to heaven on high |
And knocked that sun and the moon from the sky |
Shook the mountains and disturbed the sea |
Hitched his reins to his Chariot Wheel |
Stepped on land and stood out on shore |
Declared this time couldn’t be no more |
Cause it’s gonna rain |
Cause itâ??s gonna rain |
Cause itâ??s gonna rain |
Cause itâ??s gonna rain |
