Riff: (am) (G) (F) (E)

In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth
And the Earth was without form and void,
and darkness was upon the face of the deep
And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters
And God said: "Let there be light! "

(am) (G) (F) (E)
Long time ago in the days of Noah 5000 years or so
(am) (G) (F) (E)
man was evil darkness ruled, its power seemed to grow
(am) (G) (F) (E)
A world of sin, can you imagine, as bad as it could be
(am) (G) (F) (E)
But Noah knew the truth all right, 'cause God had made him see
Riff x 2
the world was doomed!

But God saw that Noah was a man of faith, who wished to serve him well
He told him: "Noah, I've got a plan for you to save your soul from hell;
build a ship that will be your rescue from extinction, annihilation,
and when I destroy this sinful world, this ship is your only salvation"

(am)(G) (F) (E) (am)(G) (F) (E)
Noah waited, Noah waited,
(am) (G) (F) (E)
he waited for God's will to be done
(am)(G) (F) (E)
Noah waited,
(am) (G) (F) (E)
he trusted God the water would come

(dm) (C) (F) (E)
And just like Noah we've got at ship, a true salvation:
(am) (G) (F) (E)
In Jesus Christ there is life if you believe in Him
Riff
You are set free!

He died for you, He paid your price, His life was the cost
Willing to suffer and shed His blood, that you should not be lost
But He rose again, death could not hold Him, He promised us to return
and lead us to Heaven, a brand new earth, when this cruel world will burn

And now we'll wait!
We'll wait for the Lord to come back again
We will wait
Just like Noah waited for the rain
