When God shut Noah in the grand old ark
He put a rainbow in the cloud
When thunders rolled and the sky was dark
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

God put a rainbow in the cloud
(God put a rainbow in the cloud)
Well, it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

Away down yonder in Egypt's sand
God put a rainbow in the cloud
Just to lead his children to the promised land
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

God put a rainbow in the cloud
(God put a rainbow in the cloud)
Well, it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

When they put old Daniel in the lion's den
God put a rainbow in the cloud
Just to prove his promise to the sons of men
God put a rainbow in the cloud.

God put a rainbow in the cloud
(God put a rainbow in the cloud)
Well, it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the cloud…
