He had a word from God spoken directly to him,
Noah had never seen it rain, bet he couldn't even swim!
But he did just like the Lord commanded him to do,
He knew He would lead him through it, His word always holds true.
Noah took down the measurements one by one,
He knew what he had to do to get the job done.
He told his wife, sons and daughters-in-law,
"Get ready, God's going to send us flood water like we never saw!"
He got all those animals ready like the Lord told him to do,
What a sight watching them enter that ark two by two.
As soon as God's hand shut the door,
It started to rain like never before.
It rained for forty days and nights,
Nothing but rain, no sunshine in sight.
And it came to pass at the end of the forty days,
Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made.
He sent forth a dove to try and find dry land,
But the dove came back and landed on his outstretched hand.
He sent the dove out for a second chance,
This time it came back with an olive branch.
The last time Noah sent the dove out, something happened that was sweet,
She found rest for the soles of her feet.
This told Noah the water was gone, their wait had finally come to an end,
That's when the Lord promised this would never happen again.
The Lord made a coventant with Noah and every living creature that day,
As a token of the covenant, He said He would send a rainbow our way.
That's why the Lord put a rainbow in the sky.
So if you've ever wondered.......NOW YOU KNOW WHY!!
