VERSE 1 — The Door of Mercy Closed The sky grew dark with warning, the wind began to rise, Noah stood in silence as the tears filled up his eyes. The animals were gathered, the faithful few inside, And God Himself shut up the door as judgment filled the sky. VERSE 2 — Forty Days of Falling The fountains of the deep broke open from below, The heavens split with thunder as the world was drowned in woe. Yet in the ark of mercy, the faithful held their breath, While waters rose like mountains and the old world met its death. CHORUS — Held Above the Flood Through the rising, through the falling, Through the storm that would not bend, There was mercy in the waiting, There was promise in the end. For the God who sends the waters Is the God who calls us friend— And the ark of His compassion Holds us till the floods descend. VERSE 3 — The Long Wait One hundred fifty days the waters ruled the land, But Noah kept on trusting in the goodness of God’s hand. A raven searched the silence, a dove returned again, Till finally she carried back a leaf of life within. VERSE 4 — A New Beginning The mountains shed their waters, the earth began to breathe, And Noah stepped on solid ground with trembling, grateful feet. He built an altar rising like a heartbeat toward the sky, And God received the offering with a promise sealed on high. BRIDGE — The Covenant of Color The clouds broke into color, a bow of living flame, A sign that every storm would bow before His holy name. “No flood will drown creation, no darkness hide My grace— For mercy is My banner, and love will fill this place.” FINAL CHORUS — Held Above the Flood Through the rising, through the falling, Through the storm that would not bend, There was mercy in the waiting, There was promise in the end. For the God who paints the heavens With a covenant to send— Is the God who still remembers, And the God who calls us friend. TAG When the waters found their end… His mercy did not end.
