A Flood of Tears
Ten generations from Adam to Noah
Each one more and more depraved
Violence, corruption, promiscuity, theft
And yet a Merciful God had patience left
Noah worked on his Ark for 120 years
To catcalls, boos, mockery and jeers
Though he warned others of what was to come
They heeded him not, seemingly deaf and dumb
With the tiniest of raindrops the flood began
God's tears at having to abandon His plan
Of rescuing the earth at the very last minute
Of preserving this world and everything in it
The Lord desires not to punish us for our sins
He yearns for a sign of repentance ~ Please let Him in
