Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord

(This song, written by Richard Schmertz, has been recorded by the Statler Brothers, Tennissee Earnie Ford, Burl Ives, and others.)

Chorus:
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!
Well, the Lord looked down from His throne up in the sky
And said, "I created man, but I don't remember why.
Nothin' but fightin' since creation day;
I'll send a little water and I'll wash 'em all away!"

So the Lord came down to look around a spell,
And there was Mister Noah, behavin' mighty well.
And that is the reason, so the Scriptures record,
That Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!
The Lord said, "Noah, there's gonna' be a flood!
There's gonna be some water and there's gonna be some mud!
So take off your hat Noah; take off your coat,
Get Ham, Shem and Jepheth and build yourself a boat."

Noah said, "Lord, I don't believe I could!"
The lord said, "Noah, get some sturdy gopher wood.
You can't do nothin' until you try;
Build it fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high."

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!
Well, Noah said, "There she is, there she is, Lord!"
The Lord said, "Noah, it's time to get aboard.
Take two of each creature, a he and a she,
And of course Mrs. Noah and the whole family."

Noah said, "Lord, it's gettin' mighty dark!"
The Lord said, "Noah, get them critters in the ark!"
Noah said, "Lord it's beginnin' to pour!"
The Lord said, "Noah, get in and shut the door!"

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!
Well the ark rose up on the bosom of the deep.
And after forty days, Brother Noah took a peek.
He said, "We ain't movin' Lord, where are we at?"
The Lord said, "You're sittin' right on Mount Ararat."

Noah said, "Lord it's gettin' mighty dry!"
The Lord said, "Noah, see my rainbow in the sky.
That is my promise for all to see ---
If your species is destroyed, it won't be by me!"

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!

Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,
And he landed high and dry!
