\"God's Promise\"

"Gods Promise" We took advantage of God's gift that he so generously hand made himself The price we had to pay was the hands that we ourselves had dealt. We turned his precious gift into a hell we had here on earth. Lying, cheating, mockery and, still we felt the mirth. We scorned him, mocked him, we lived our lives of sin Raindrops that fell from heaven were tears that were shed by him. He watched us from his kingdom he prayed we'd see the light But we were blind to all his gifts and never were contrite. He sent his message to a man Noah was his name. He said that we should all repent That God was full of shame. Most were filled with evil their hearts fulfilled with vanity they swore and cursed our God used his name in deep profanity. Noah abided by God's wishes A massive ark he had to build. To save all God's believers and those who felt the guilt. But still no one took his warnings of their fate that was to come The wrath of God they did not heed or the deaths they would succumb. The tears from heaven began to fall God's heart was filled with pain. For all that he had created was created all in vain. For everything he'd hoped for and all the life's that he had cherished was deep beneath the waters All sin had now been perished. For forty days and forty nights. His tears fell like pouring rain. But Noah and his family were safe from all the rage. When his tears subsided and his rathe had taken place. He opened up the heavens The sun, the earth embraced. When the earth was finally desiccated God guided Noah's Ark To a place with new beginnings A new life for him to start. Noah opened up his vessel Lifted his eyes up towards the sky Gave his praise to God Almighty and then began to cry. For in the midst of blue clouds an arch of beauty shone. A covenant sent from heaven From God upon his thrown. A Rainbow is what God called it A symbol of his promise. The rains will fall upon this land but never will it harm us.
