When the water rise

Verse 1 (dark, cinematic — strings + low piano)

When the earth was filled with violence,
And the sky grew cold and still,
God looked down at His creation
And His heart began to spill.
For the ones He formed with glory
Turned to dust and broken lies,
Heaven whispered through the silence:
“Judgment comes, and waters rise.”

Verse 2 (soft build — tremolo strings + pad)

He called a man with steady hands,
With a heart that still could hear.
“Noah, build what no one’s seen,
For the flood is drawing near.”
And while others laughed and mocked him,
He kept working board by board,
Not by reason, not by power,
But by trusting in the Lord.

Pre-Chorus (dramatic lift — drums enter softly)

He could not see the thunder,
He could not feel the rain,
Yet by faith he built an altar
In the middle of the plains.

Chorus (full cinematic — wide, orchestral, strong)

When the waters rise,
And the sky begins to break,
God remembers those
Who trust Him in the wait.
When the world gives in
And the righteous stand alone,
Every flood will pass —
And God will lead them home.

Verse 3 (melancholic + intimate — vocals close)

Forty nights of raging thunder,
Forty days of endless rain,
Every voice on earth went silent,
Every memory drowned in pain.
But inside the ark was promise,
Inside storm and sealing wood,
For the God who judged with justice
Still remembered to be good.

Bridge (soft → massive build)

Then the dove returned with olive,
Branches dripping with new light,
And the mountain peaks uncovered
From the drowning of the night.
Noah waited for the stillness,
For the ground beneath his feet,
Till the Lord Himself descended
Saying, “Come — the storm is beat.”

Final Chorus (victorious + bright)

When the waters rise,
And the thunder loudens sin,
God will make a way
For mercy to begin.
Every storm that shakes,
Every tear that floods the land,
Cannot break the vow
God writes with His own hand.

Outro (soft, prophetic — strings + quiet piano)

So He bowed the sky in color,
Painted covenant in flame,
Every shade a holy promise:
“Never will I drown again.”

And the rainbow told the story
Of a faith that did not fail:
Noah trusted in the silence,
And God’s promise set the sail.
