From Adam and Eve, and to Lamech from Cain Sin spread through the earth like a fire and a stain From temptation to sin, then to death it gave birth As has man wholly corrupted his way on the earth But Noah was righteous in the sight of the Lord Only Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord The earth filled with wicked and violent men Their thoughts only evil again and again 'Til the Lord God regretted that they'd ever been made And He grieved in His heart, and in anguish He said "I will wipe out all life from the face of the land From the fox in the forest to the snake in the sand From man in his pride to the insects that creep All flesh will be buried in a grave in the deep." But Noah was righteous in the sight of the Lord Only Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord The Lord sealed the door when they all were inside The floodgates were opened all over the skies From deep in the earth, hidden seas joined the flood 'Til the mountains were covered, and all flesh and blood The ark floated high on the deluge alone 'Til at last the dove left and remained where she'd flown And Noah walked out with his sons and their wives And there burned an offering to God for their lives And so it will be when the Master returns The earth and the heavens will melt and will burn And it's too late to pray when it ends with a roar Those who find grace will have found it before And when all of it ends with a fire and a roar Those who find grace will have found it before Those who find grace will have found it before Only Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
