Build an Ark

1. Noah was a prophet, a man who did not fear.When he taught repentance, the people would not hear.So the Lord told him to build a boatThat could hold a ton and stay afloat.Then Noah started building and said within his heart:

“I will build an ark before it starts to rain.I will follow the Lord, and His words I will obey.I’ll prepare ev’ry needful thing.I will walk in righteous ways.When the rain starts to fall on me,I’ll be ready for that day.”

2. I can be like Noah, whose faith in God was sure.Faith is like an ark; it can help me be secure.I can do the things I know are right.I can learn and pray with all my might.And then when troubles come, I’ll be safe within my ark.

I will build my ark before it starts to rain.I will follow the prophet; he speaks for God today.I’ll prepare ev’ry needful thing.I will walk in righteous ways.When the rain starts to fall on me,I’ll be ready for that day.
