Carman - The Well lyrics

Think about ol' Noah sittin' on his front porch Eatin' lasagna that he cooked with a torch He was halfway through a meatball when the Lord spoke He said "boy, you gonna be busy for a while, buildin' an ark from a huge wood pile" Ol' Noah's eyes got big as baseballs and he almost...choked Well he told his family what was goin' down And they listened intently to him And nobody fought, or fussed, or frowned 'Cause nobody knew how to swim....yet Well the rain's came, they was all safe inside They didn't get wet or nothin' Noah obeyed 'cause when God speaks, Everybody listens, even E.F. Hutton (CHORUS) God don't care, what the circumstance Or even if the future's lookin' dim God don't want, some big ol' song and dance He just wants your faith and trust in Him Little David must have just been in his teens When he faced Goliath of the Philistines He was armed with just a slingshot and some stones Well Goliath was a giant and strong as a tank And when he looked at men, their stomachs sank And there stood little David all alone With faith in God he slung his sling And much to their surprise He k**ed that monster with a stone That nailed him 'tween the eyes Then decapitated his fallen foe And made sure he was dead And showed everyone there he was someone Who really knew how to get "a head" (CHORUS) King David was smitten down to his socks When his eyes caught that Bathsheba fox His resistance was so shook that he backslid He went and had her husband k**ed Thinkin' his dreams would be fulfilled But God would make him wish, that he never did The Lord punished him severe For bein' stupid as an ape But David's faith was strong And God soon pulled him back in shape Now there's a lesson to be learned here About dealing with temptation You keep your eyes on the Creator, men And not on His creation (CHORUS)
