NOAH'S OBEDIENCE

NOAH’S OBEDIENCE

There came a time when God was sad
That He created man in the first six days
For most did not acknowledge Him
But set their lives in wicked ways

Of the multitude of God’s children
All that would stand out was one
Who showed obedience and reverence
For all of the things that God had done

This man whose name was Noah
Was told by God to build an ark
God would unleash a horrific rainstorm
And the world would become very dark

All of the people who saw him building the ark
Scoffed at the task that God had told Noah to do
When the ark was finished being built
He loaded all of the animals two by two

Once this was done and his family aboard
As God foretold He unleash torrential rain
Forty days and nights later the earth was flooded and
All of the wicked doubters would never be seen again

Finally when all the rain had stop and
The earth flooded as God had planned
Noah released a dove to search
For a place where he could land

When the dove came back
And dry land was found
All of animals were set free
For their population to abound

The reward that was gave Noah and his family
Some may have thought of to be somewhat odd
Long life and procreation was the gift that
He would receive for his obedience to God
