What If

What if Noah had only a daughter?,
he built an ark that wasn't near water.
What if David would have missed Goliath's head?,
and Goliath killed him instead.
What if Joseph had died in that hole?,
instead of him being sold.
What if Moses did not approach the bush?,
but instead chose to keep it all hush, hush.
What if Abraham would not offer up his only son?,
and thought that God would not give him another one.
What if only Eve had ate the fruit of the tree,
could Adam have saved you and me?
And what if Elijah had not killed the prophets of Baal?,
me and you would be worshipping a doll.
But glory to all ad praises be, ...cause
Joseph was given the gift to see,
Moses did venture and bowed upon his knee.
Abraham knew His promises were from sea to sea,
and Noah was as rightious as can be.
David knew Goliath would drop like a tree.
Now what about Adam I'm sure you want to know,
God already knew he would have to go.
The people of Babel stayed together from birth,
but God said multiply and subdue the earth.
God is good, and He's really great,
He knew the outcome before creation left the gate.
