Genesis 6 in music. The story of Noah and his sons building the Ark according to God's instructions.
lyrics
Humanity now fills the earth
With daughters given them in birth
Sons of God came down
Took for themselves daughters from man
These are they who disobey
Not keeping to the place God gave
Inflicting hybrid pain
And so was born, the Nephilim
The Lord did see the human race
Makes the earth a wicked place
Their every thought and deed
Evil bent exceedingly
The heart of God floods with pain
Now regrets the man He’d made
And so the Lord did weep
And judge the earth with waters deep
Noah was a righteous man
Blameless in his day
Walked with God so faithfully
His righteousness proclaim
By faith he saw the things to come
And so in holy fear
Would build an ark the world to save
While people mocked and jeered
The flood was drawing near
A wicked generation
Fills the earth with violence
Corrupting all their ways
Destructive in their sin and their shame
And so did God his judgement speak
A flood would come the world to sweep
Destroying all of life
Everything with breath would die
With you I make a covenant
You, your sons and wives
Into the ark you’ll enter in
A shelter to survive
Every creature I will bring
Two of every kind
Male, female, wild and tame
In the ark be kept alive
This flood you will survive
So build the ark
Gofer wood
Three levels high
Make rooms in it
Use pitch to coat
Inside and out
A roof with openings 'roundabout
Three hundred cubits long
Fifty cubits wide
Thirty cubits high
A single door on its side
My judgement you’ll survive
You will survive, righteous Noah
Finding grace in my eyes
I’ll keep you alive
This flood you will survive
