Wasn't That A Mighty Storm? by Jerry Rasmussen
(Words and music by Jerry Rasmussen)

Jerry's Comments:  There are countless songs about Noah, and even some with this same title.  Noah has become a rather humorous character, more like a children's book hero than a real man.  The biblical story is quite different.  Noah was a man who walked with God.  I think there are only three men in the bible who were said to have walked with God.  When God was so fed up with the way that his people were living that he wanted to destroy the world, he said that he would spare us if he could find one righteous man.  That man was Noah.  There's also a great lesson to be learned in the story about Noah.  The Lord told Noah to do something that seemed foolish to everyone.  Perhaps to Noah, too.  But, Noah did what he was told, despite all the ridicule heaped upon him.  We would all do well to see Noah's obedience to the Lord as a template for our own lives.


God looked down on the world he made
And swore that he'd destroy the land
But he promised that he'd give us one more chance
If he could find one righteous man

CHORUS:
Wasn't that a mighty storm?
Wasn't that a mighty storm?
When God spread the waters all over the land
Wasn't that a mighty storm?

Now, Noah was a man who walked with God
In the shining gospel way
He always did his best to do God's will
And to serve him every day

(Chorus)

Noah built a boat out of gopher wood
300 cubits long
It had to withstand them stormy tides
So he made it mighty strong

(Chorus)

First he sent out a raven
And then he sent a dove
The dove came back with an olive branch
As a symbol of God's love

(Chorus)

Now everybody knows about Noah
Calling them animals two by two
Brother let us pray on judgment day
God takes me and you
