Genesis 8 & 9 reflected in song. What was life like on the Ark for Noah and his family? They would have lived on the Ark for about a year. This song captures what that could have been like for Noah and his family on the Ark.
lyrics
Afloat on the waters – day after day
Glad for the sunshine – after the rain
Hearing the splashing – feeling the motion
Adrift in the ark – the world is an ocean
The memory of dry land
Now seems so distant
Hard to believe – the world be so different
But here on the ark – our family survives
Trusting tomorrow – the Lord will provide again
Our hope is in the Lord
That He will save like before
‘Cause You
You made the moon and stars
You told me to build this ark
So we are saved
Your marvellous deeds
Your marvellous grace
Remember
Remember your servants here
The animals placed in our care
(Please) hasten the day
Lord make a way
That we might see dry land again
Our home is a refuge – by God’s design
Rooms filled with creatures – on every side
Our days filled with feeding – scrubbing and cleaning
Amazed at them all – the small to the tall
At night time the wonder – the dark comes alive
Billions of stars – alight in the sky
The sea like a mirror – a glittering dance
Reflecting the glory – of heaven’s expanse
Our hope is in the Lord
That He will save like before
‘Cause You
You made the moon and stars
You told me to build this ark
So we are saved
Your marvellous deeds
Your marvellous grace
Remember
Remember your servants here
The animals placed in our care
Hasten the day
Lord make a way
That we might see dry land
A shift in the wind
A move on the bow
Water receding
A thud from below
Mountains appearing
Waters are clearing
Joy in the air
Our freedom is near
You remembered
Placing your bow in the sky
A covenant ring on high
The rainbow You gave
Never again flooding the earth
By your mercy
Now we can start again
Increasing and bearing new life
Commanded to go – fill all the world
And live for Your glory again
