Are you Noah

There he stands, one among the many
And there stands Bob, not a care in this world
Swear words; smut seeping out the corners of his mouth
Living a life of reckless abandon quite untold

The wind blows in his direction,
Bob turns to him, puts his hand on his shoulder says
“Been looking for you, are you Noah?”
And he turns away, walks away and says
“That’s me alright, but I can’t bring myself to say ‘Yes’.”

There she stands, one among the crowd of faces
And beside her stands Jane, beat up, taken advantage of, covering up the pain
No value system, live for the moment, defiant in her weakness
A heady mixture of truth and lies running wild through her veins

The wind blows in her direction,
Jane turns to her, looks at her inquisitively, says
“There you are! Aren’t you Noah?”
And she takes a few steps back, turns and says
“That’s me alright, but I can’t bring myself to say ‘Yes’.”

In a world that is falling apart,
In a time that is giving away the inevitable to come
When grows stronger the need for a clear black and white
Will you and I be the one?

When lack of values are clear to see,
When mockers and cynics right into your world come
When the need for salt flavoured salt rises
Will you and I be the one?

Will Jesus find us
Clothed and waiting for Him
Speaking the truth to this world by the way we live
Will we be chiselling away at the starboard of the ark
Or would there be need of justification to give?

In a world that is passing away with its lusts
A world that spins out of control, orbit unconscious
Without preaching a 4 point sermon
By our life, will you and I show that our belief be Jesus?

Today when they see us, will they notice?
Will they be made aware, by our life
A testament of His life giving power
Will we say “Yes” when they ask
Or will we say, “Wish I could say yes
But, I’m not Noah.”


Noah’s belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the rest of the world – which refused to obey – and because of his faith he became one of those whom God has accepted.
