06 Genesis 8 & 9 - Never Again

[Verse 1]

The storm is spent, the silence heavier than rain

I watched the waters rise with every broken name

You stepped out trembling, into the weightless air

Built an altar with your hands, and I met you there


[Pre-Chorus]

The smoke rose like a cry I didn’t know I needed

You burned what was clean, and I was…

…pleased.


[Chorus]

I smelled the fire and remembered My heart

I tore the sky and made you a promise

Never again, though every thought is dark

Never again, though blood still cries from the harvest


[Verse 2]

I watched the flood take sons and cities

Watched mothers swallowed in regret

My justice ran wild through the earth

But mercy pulled the reigns… and wept


[Bridge]

Even in youth, the heart bends toward the grave

But I will not answer death with wave after wave


[Chorus]

I smelled the fire and remembered My heart

I tore the sky and made you a promise

Never again, though every thought is dark

Never again, though blood still cries from the harvest


[Verse 3]

I bent the light across the broken sky

A bow of war unstrung, hung high

Not for your eyes alone—but for Mine

To remember the line I drew in time


[Chorus]

I smelled the fire and remembered My heart

I tore the sky and made you a promise

Never again, though every thought is dark

Never again, though blood still cries from the harvest


[Outro]

Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat

Will not cease

While earth remains…

I will not drown you again.
