Thus did Noah, and the Scripture records: He still speaks though he is dead, For righteous Noah did Exactly what God said.
No short two-by-fours. No crooked, rusty nails. No extra windows added. No unwanted sails.
No third-rate pitch to leak. No creatures left behind. No arguments, no after-thoughts. No switch in God’s design.
Noah, righteous Noah, Did just as he was told. He labored on and on and on, And watched God’s plan unfold.
He offered God no second best, He never cried, “Unfair!” He preached the truth with faithfulness, Though no results were there.
And thus did Noah at journey’s end: He worshipped God and prayed. Never did he question God; He simply just obeyed.
So he’s a living legend, A message to me and to you. A portrait from God of just what He And one faithful man can do.
His message is one we all can learn, For He shows us just where to start. He says, “Simply obey what you know to do And you will have found God’s heart.”
