Forty Days

“Forty Days” (Noah’s Ark)

Forty Days!

The Lord looked down and the world was wild

Every heart was dark, every thought defiled

But Noah found grace in the Father’s eyes

And the word came down from the holy skies

Forty days on the endless sea

Rain came down like a prophecy

When the waters rise and the storms obey

Only the righteous find their way

Build the ark from the gopher wood

Seal it tight like the Lord said you should

Two by two came the beasts of the land

And the ark was closed by the Master’s hand

Forty days on the endless sea

Rain came down like a prophecy

When the waters rise and the storms obey

Only the righteous find their way

The fountains broke and the sky grew black

But the Lord held fast, never turned His back

And when the dove brought the olive leaf home

They knew the flood was over and gone

Forty days on the endless sea

Rain came down like a prophecy

When the waters rise and the storms obey

Only the righteous find their way

On Ararat’s stone where the ark did rest

Noah bowed down and the Lord blessed
