And the rain came down
And it fell upon the ground
And reminded me of all the words You said
Yes the rain came down, yes the rain came down
And the truth came down around me
Like the sky was rainin' lead

Woke up this mornin' to the sound of fallin' rain
So many awful messages were rollin' 'round my brain
I looked out my window and the sky was dark as night
Is it too late to change my ways and try and see the light
I looked out to the left of me the water risin' high
And in the flash of lightnin' that was lightin' up the sky
I saw my neighbors wadin' through the water in the dark
I know where they were goin' they were headin' for the ark

chorus

I caught them in a moment there was panic on my face
Others joined our group and made it clear this was a race
We had to try and find the ark and hope he'd let us in
He who'd often warned us of the wages of our sin
We moved along in silence though our hearts were cryin' out
Noah was no fool there was no longer any doubt
We rolled around the bend to where the ark had always stayed
Our tears turned into wailing as we watched it sail away.

chorus

Woke up this mornin' when I heard a siren scream
The sound of morning traffic pulled me from my awful dream
My body bathed is sweat that matched the rain that fell outside
I realized my time had come I could no longer hide
All the early lessons I had learned at Sunday school
Slashed me to the heart and made me see I'd been a fool
I realized that all these years my eyes had been so blind
I grabbed the telephone...and got my preacher on the line.
