2nd Chapter Of Acts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then you'll know the glory
Noah saw after the rains came down
And killed the people
Even though they'd been warned
Still they scoffed and they scorned
But they never saw the rainbow
No rain will fall upon us
To destroy the life on earth again
Or the living creatures
That means you, that means me
Every bird, every tree
And He signed it with a rainbow
You can have a rainbow
Yes, a living rainbow
If you will accept the son of God
His name is Jesus
He'll wash away your old life
God gave His Son so you might
Know the One who made the rainbow
The song "Rainbow" by 2nd Chapter of Acts speaks about the biblical story of Noah and how after the Great Flood, God promised never to destroy the earth with water again. The opening line of the song is an invitation to listen to the story which would lead to understanding the glory that Noah witnessed. The song goes on to explain how Noah had warned the people of the impending flood but they did not take heed and were subsequently killed by the downpour. Despite being warned, they never saw the rainbow which was God's sign of promise that he would not do that again.
The song reiterates that the rainbow is a symbol of God's promise that he will never again destroy the earth with water. It is a symbol of hope and the assurance that the lives and creatures on earth will be safe. The lyrics encourage listeners that they too can experience this promise by accepting Jesus Christ, who will transform their lives and wash away their old selves. The fact that God sacrificed His only Son to save our souls is proof of His love for us and exemplifies the reason why God made the rainbow.
