                          -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-





            Chorus

            Noah was a knower, he knew the heart of God

            Noah was a knower, to build the wooden ark  x 2



            Verse 1

            All the animals crawling on the ground

            couldn't help that man had fallen

            God looked down with an awful frown

            knew He must bring lots of water

            Drown the sins there to be found

            Man had disobeyed His calling

            There is someone who is holy

            He must work to save the animals



            Chorus repeat



            Verse 2

            Noah was praying, just hanging around

            shut his face from all who'd fallen

            God said build the Ark right now

            save the animals from the water

            Noah had faith in God's command

            even though heïd never seen thunder

            Got to working with his family

            building the Ark



            Chorus repeat



            Bridge 1

            100 years of banging tools

            Laughed at by his neighbours scorn

            40 days and 40 nights

            Smelly animals all around



            Middle bit

            Cod's calling is always a challenge

            It may not be what you would seem

            But following his ways trough life

            ends up leading to the mountain top





            Verse 3

            Heard the animals two by two

            Chooks and cows and kangaroos

            Close the doors as rain comes down

            All his neighbours start to drown

            As the boat began to rock

            all the sin was washed away

            100 years of real hard work

            Noah sat down and had a coffee



            Bridge 2

            Finally the waters went

            Noah was on the mountain top

            The rainbow came as a new promise

            God would show his mercy often



            Middle bit repeat



            Chorus repeat
