I. The Burden
In the land of Canaan, a man named Noah resided,
A righteous soul who sought to live by God's decreed.
But in the heavens above, there came a troubled sign,
For the world had grown corrupted, and sin had taken its toll;
It was time for a reckoning, as God's divine word spoke:
"I will destroy this wickedness, for it has become too thick to smoke."
II. The Calling
The Lord appeared to Noah in a vision so clear,
He said, "Noah, my servant, your task is to take heed;
Build an ark, for you shall save two of every kind,
A vessel large enough to hold the life I will find."
Noah listened intently and bowed his head in awe,
For he knew God's commandment could not be ignored nor flaunted.
III. The Building
Noah set out on his mission with unwavering resolve,
To build an ark that would shelter creatures from the storm.
He gathered wood and hammered nails, and called upon his kin,
And in time, a vessel was born, a testament to God's design.
With faith as his guide, he worked tirelessly day and night,
For he knew this task was his, by divine command made right.
IV. The Gathering
As the ark neared completion, Noah sent out the word,
To gather every creature, two of each to be heard;
Birds, beasts, and creeping things, all were given their place,
And as they entered the ark, they did so without a trace.
Noah's family joined him too, for they knew it was time,
To follow God's command and heed his message sublime.
V. The Flood
When the vessel was filled with life, the sky began to darken,
And the rain came down in torrents, unleashing a flood unbroken;
The waters rose, and Noah's heart was heavy and full of dread,
For he knew the world was drowning, lost to sin and death instead.
But he clung to his faith, and prayed for deliverance divine,
And as the waters receded, God's mercy began to shine.
VI. The Redemption
As the floodwaters subsided, a rainbow appeared in the sky,
A promise from God that He would never again let man die;
Noah and his family emerged from the ark with hope anew,
For they knew this was a sign, a testament to God's unending love.
The Lord spoke to Noah once more, "Let this be a reminder,
That justice and righteousness are the virtues that will endure."
VII. The Rebirth
Noah's family rebuilt their lives with newfound wisdom,
And they spread God's word throughout the land, as the Lord had commanded.
The people of Canaan lived in harmony, no longer bound by sin,
For Noah's faith and righteousness had led them to redemption within.
As generations passed, the story of Noah's Ark became legend,
A testament to God's power and His unwavering commandment.

Between those who embraced righteousness and those who sought to serve themselves.
