Verse 1

In the time of Noah, mankind had strayed,

became deeply corrupt, and they lost the blessing of God,

no longer cared for by God, devoid of His promises.

Without God’s light, they were living in darkness,

became promiscuous by nature,

abandoned to hideous corruption.

Chorus

Only Noah shunned evil and worshiped God,

so he was able to hear the voice of God,

and hear the instructions of God,

building the ark according to God’s command.

He assembled all manner of living creatures

of every kind and way and feature.

When all had had its preparations,

God unleashed the world’s destruction.

Verse 2

They had become so fallen that they could

no longer receive God’s promises good.

They were completely unfit to witness His face,

nor were they able to hear His voice.

For they had abandoned God, cast aside what He had given.

And all His teachings they had left and forgotten.

Chorus

Only Noah shunned evil and worshiped God,

so he was able to hear the voice of God,

and hear the instructions of God,

building the ark according to God’s command.

He assembled all manner of living creatures

of every kind and way and feature.

When all had had its preparations,

God unleashed the world’s destruction.

Bridge

So great was their straying and depravity.

They lost all sense of reason and humanity.

Their evil was so thorough and wretched

that they came ever closer to death.

They became further and further from God’s path,

so they fell under His punishment and wrath.

Chorus

Only Noah shunned evil and worshiped God,

so he was able to hear the voice of God,

and hear the instructions of God,

building the ark according to God’s command.

He assembled all manner of living creatures

of every kind and way and feature.

When all had had its preparations,

God unleashed the world’s destruction.

Outro

Only Noah and his family remained alive,

only he and his seven family members survived.

For Noah shunned evil and worshiped Jehovah,

yes, Noah shunned evil and worshiped Jehovah.
