Mortification - Noah Was A Knower lyrics

rate me

[Genesis 6:1-9 and Genesis 7]

[Chorus]

Noah was a knower, he knew the heart of God

Noah was a knower, to build the wooden ark <i>[x2]

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]

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 he'd never seen thunder

Got to working with his family

building the Ark

[Chorus repeat]

100 years of banging tools

Laughed at by his neighbours scorn

40 days and 40 nights

Smelly animals all around

[Middle bit]

God's calling is always a challenge

It may not be what you would seem

But following his ways through life

ends up leading to the mountain top

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

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]
