The Favour of God -Genesis 6: 8

God sends many blessings upon the world
so many that they couldn't be counted
just as Abraham had all his descendants
this fact leaves us all truly astounded

Now Noah was a humble servant of God
stood for righteousness when no one would
obeying his blessed Lord to build an ark
when everyone mocked him he still stood

For this act of bravery and faithfulness
God was with him fully and true
promising His favour upon him to bless
this the Lord would continue to do

The Lord knew about the life of Noah
for His eyes were cast on His chosen one
blessing Noah with God's merciful favour
for he'd stood true to be told well done!

('But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord.')
Genesis 6: 8 (ESV)
