Rain, rain, rain, rain

Well, didn't it rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain

Well stop! Great God, stop still and listen
My God walked down by the briny sea
Beheld the evil of the sinful Man
Declared that he would destroy the land

He spoke to Noah, Noah stopped
He said, Noah I want you to build an ark
And I want you to build it big and strong
Build it three hundred cubits along
Thirty high and fifty wide
Cause it's got to stand that rain and tide

Well, rain children
God's gonna send new orders from Zion
He's good raise his heaven up higher
It's gonna rain

Well, after God told him what to do
Noah began to cut and hew
The ringing of the saw cried "Judgement"
The ringing of the hammer cried "Sinner repent"

A hundred years he hammered and sawed
Building the Ark by the Grace of God
After the foundation was laid
He hewed the timber and the Ark was made

Lord, let it rain
Behold the Ark is made

Well he called in the animals two by two
The ox, the camel, and the kangaroo
Well they called in Japeth, Ham and Shem
And God began to flood the land

He raised his hands to heaven on high
He knocked the sun, the moon from the sky
Shook the mountains around the sea
And he hitched his reins to the chariot wheel
Stepped on the land and stood on the shore
And declared that time would be no more

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain

My Lord had to wait until the float and the Ark did rock
And Noah couldn't find nowhere to dock
My God spoke and he whispered low
Showed old Noah where he wanted him to go

He said, "Lookit here, Noah, the rain's done stopped
And I want you to land on the mountaintop"
He showed old Noah a rainbow sign
Said it won't be a rain but fire next time

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Oh, Noah, Noah, didn't it rain
