Hymns - Oh, the Lord Looked Down - Текст песни

Oh, the Lord looked down from his window in the sky,
Said: 'I created man, but I can't remember why!
Nothing but fighting since creation day.
I'll send a little water and wash them all away.'
Oh, the Lord came down and looked around a spell.
There was Mr Noah behaving mighty well.
And that is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
 

 Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
 Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
 Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
 And he left him high and dry.
 

The Lord said: 'Noah, there's going to be a flood,
There's going to be some water, there's going to be some mud,
So, take off your hat, Noah, take of your coat,
Get Shem, Ham, and Japeth and build yourself a boat.'
Noah said: 'Lord, I don't believe I could.'
The Lord said: 'Noah, get yourself some wood.
You never know what you can do till you try.
Build it fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high.'

Noah said: 'There she is, there she is, Lord!'
The Lord said: 'Noah, it's time to get aboard.
Take of each creature a he and a she,
And of course take Mrs Noah and the whole family.'
Noah said: 'Lord, it's getting mighty dark.'
The Lord said: 'Noah, get those creatures in the ark.'
Noah said: 'Lord, it's beginning to pour.'
The Lord said: 'Noah, hurry up and close the door.'

The ark rose up on the bosom of the deep.
After forty days Mr Noah took a peep.
He said: 'We're not moving, Lord, where are we at?'
The Lord said: 'You're sitting right on Mount Ararat.'
Noah said: 'Lord, it's getting nice and dry.'
The Lord said: 'Noah, see my rainbow in the sky.
Take all your creatures and people the earth,
And be sure that you're not more trouble than you're worth.'
