After The Waters — Selah Sound Collective (Genesis 6-9)

Verse 1 The sky cried longer than the sun could wait, And all the gardens drowned in fate. He said He wished He’d never made A world that taught the light to fade. I saw the ark like a ghost in bloom, Floating through a water-colored doom. And even though the end had come, It sounded like a lullaby, not a gun.

Chorus After the flood, we still sang soft— With salt on our lips and faith half-off. The world was washed, but not erased— The flood left flowers in its place. The rainbow didn’t promise joy— It just said “not this again, my boy.”

Verse 2 The animals whispered lullabies, Noah just stared at the empty skies. And I—I watched the water fall, Like love that hurts but still recalls. There was no cheer when the boat hit land, Just quiet dirt and trembling hands. But something new grew in the cracks— A kind of love that doesn’t look back.

Chorus After the flood, we kissed the ground, Grateful just to hear a sound. The sky stitched color from the grey— But that doesn’t mean the hurt went away. The rainbow didn’t heal the past— It just said, “child, not this time—at last.”

Bridge God cried first… And the rain was His curse. But mercy isn’t loud, It walks barefoot through the dirt.

Final Chorus After the flood, the silence grew— And in that stillness, something true. He could’ve ended everything… But instead He left a song to sing. The rainbow was a vow in disguise— Not to forget us, But to baptize.

Outro …The flood left flowers… And they still bloom in my spine.
