STORY SUMMARY

As relentless rain falls and floodwaters rise, Noah and his family remain safe within the ark while the world outside is overwhelmed. Judgment sweeps across the earth, yet obedience preserves life, preparing the way for renewal after the storm subsides.

THIS STORY REMINDS US OF

God’s judgment and mercy
Faith in overwhelming circumstances
Obedience through trials
The power of God’s providence

[Intro] Mmm… Noah gathered up his family,

[Verse 1]
Shem, Ham, Japheth by his side…
Yeah, he gathered up his family, Lord,
And their wives all stepped inside…
Two by two the creatures followed,
As the heavens opened wide.

[Verse 2]
Ohhh, then the rain came down in anger,
Forty nights and forty days…
Yeah, the rain kept comin’ harder,
Washin’ wickedness away…
And the waters climbed the mountains,
Till the world was one dark grave.

[Chorus]
Ridin’ on the waters,
When the whole world’s gone to cries…
Ridin’ on them waters,
Under judgment-heavy skies…
But grace kept that old ark floatin’,
While the wicked met their demise…

[Verse 3]
Mmm… a hundred-fifty days of driftin’,
Not a patch of land in sight…
Yeah, a hundred-fifty days of driftin’,
Through the long and lonely night…
Till the ark touched Ararat’s mountains,
As the storm began its flight.

[Bridge]
Mmm… Noah sent a raven flyin’,
But that bird just roamed the sea…
Then he sent a gentle dove out,
To find where land might be…
That little dove brought back an olive leaf,
Sayin’, “God’s settin’ the world free.”

[Chorus]
Ridin’ on the waters,
Till the dry ground breaks the gloom…
Ridin’ on them waters,
From a world washed by its doom…
Then God said, “Leave the ark now,”
“Life’s waitin’ outside this room…”

[Outro]
“Mmm… judgment washed the earth clean…
But mercy opened the door.
Step out, child…
There’s a brand-new world
Waitin’ on that shore…”
