THE WATER ROSE ALL AROUND

(Sung to the tune of "The Green Grass Grows All Around")
 

 There was a man    (There was a man)
Who built an ark    (Who built an ark)
The biggest ark    (The biggest ark)
Anybody had seen    (Anybody had seen)
 

And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around

And in the sky   (And in the sky)
Down came the rain    (Down came the rain)
The very first rain    (The very first rain)
Anybody had seen    (Anybody had seen)
 

And the rain came down
And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around
 

And on the ark    (And on the ark)
There was a door    (There was a door)
The biggest door    (The biggest door)
Anybody had seen    (Anybody had seen)


And the door slammed shut
And the rain came down
And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around
 

And through that door    (And through that door)
Eight people went in    (Eight people went in)
Which people went in    (Which people went in)
Noah's family    (Noah's family)
 

And the people went in
And the door slammed shut
And the rain came down
And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around
 

And through that door    (And through that door)
Came two by two    (Came two by two)
The biggest zoo    (The biggest zoo)
Anybody had seen    (Anybody had seen)


And the zoo came through
And the people went in
And the door slammed shut
And the rain came down
And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around
 

Now Noah's ark    (Now Noah's ark)
Is like the Lord    (Is like the Lord)
Who keeps us safe    (Who keeps us safe)
On stormy seas    (On stormy seas)
(slight pause) 

Just believe in him
And you'll enter in
From a world so dark
Just like Noah's ark

Where the zoo came through
And the people went in
And the door slammed shut
And the rain came down
And the ark did float
And the water rose all around all around
The water rose all around

And the water rose all around all around
                 The water rose all around                  

                                                             Genesis 6-8
