"Bless the Lord.... who redeemeth thy life from destruction.... for as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him" (Psalm 103:1-12). "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith" (Hebrews 11:7).
Noah didn't build the ark for popularity;
Surely he was ridiculed by folks on every side,
Attributing his actions to his pure insanity,
As he described the judgment that was coming worldwide.
The ark was Noah's answer to the voice of God's instruction;
The warning of the Lord had come to his obedient ear.
The ark was Noah's statement to the world of its destruction,
With faith that stood for righteousness and moved with holy fear.
We see the work of faith, O Lord, in Noah on display
That served the world notice of its coming condemnation.
There was a single refuge then, and so it is today,
So help us show the answer is in Christ and His salvation!
