Marty Stuart - The Gospel Story Of Noah's Ark lyrics

Here comes the Gospel story of Noah's Ark When God looked down on this whole world His heart was heavy and sad The world He'd made and the man He'd loved Had all turned wicked and bad As He looked over His creation He was grieved by His own plan But just before He destroyed everything He loved He found Him a righteous man Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man He walked with his God a day by day Holding to His hand He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin' That's a truth that shall ever stand Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man Well God said to Noah "Build a boat and we'll call it an ark Build it long, deep and wide I'm gonna tell you before it starts" "I'm gonna send to you, a two by two Every good and living thing But gather up your family and shut the door 'Cause Brother, it's gonna rain" For forty days and forty nights The water came a pourin' down The tears from God Almighty's eyes Covered everythin' on the ground Men were screamin', women were cryin' Noah heard it day and night But everything on the other side of that door Disappeared clean out of sight Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man He walked with his God a day by day Holding to His hand He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin' That's a truth that shall ever stand Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man Alright And then one day the rain stopped fallin' And the ark came to a rest High and dry was ole Brother Noah On the top of Mount Ararat Well they opened up the window And sent the Lord a dove Well the dove brought back an olive branch And we all got a bowl of love Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man He walked with his God a day by day Holding to his hand He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin' That's a truth that shall ever stand Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord Noah was a righteous man Well, Noah was a righteous man Hey, Noah was a righteous man
