Dripping and dropping
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Dripping and dropping
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Can you feel the rain drop
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Look at the rain dropping
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Dripping and dropping
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Noah said come on in the arc
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Because it's beginning to rain
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Noah said come on in the arc
(Dripping and dropping the water kept falling)
Because there wont be no more water
No more water, fire next time
No more water, fire next time
No more water, fire next time
No more water, fire next time
Fire next time, Fire next time
Won't be no more water
It's gonna be fire next time
Fire next time, fire next time
No more water, fire next time
The Gospel Wonders' song "Noah" reflects the story of Noah in the Bible. God tells Noah to build an ark because there will be a flood that will last for 40 days and 40 nights. The ark must be 30 cubics high and 50 cubics wide to stand the test of time. Once the ark is complete, Noah invites all those who wish to seek refuge inside because the rain has started to fall. The water keeps falling, and it is dripping and dropping all around. The chorus repeats the message that there will be no more water; instead, fire will come next time. This statement is a reflection of God's promise that he will not destroy the earth with water again, as he did during Noah's time. Instead, he will purify the world with fire.
