Dave Schauss - The Mission Lyrics

Who sailed the ship
Upon growing sea
Who heard the cry
Of the future you and me
Who broke his back
Working through the night
Who was the only one
To see the light
For 40 days and 40 nights
He held the ship the kept the crew
Never doubting the orders he was told
Because in his heart he knew
It was the mission
To purify the earth
It was the mission
To restore it's worth
All creation died
So He could purify
Our land
The earth was buried by the sea
Drowning every kind of sin
Of all creation, only one believed
In the new heart from within
It was the mission
To purify the earth
It was the mission
To restore it's worth
All creation died
So He could purify
Our land
The 7th month it came to rest
Upon the mountain high
And the waters did recede
The 7th day the dove flew out
Into the morning sky
To check conditions of the deed
The dove returned and brought with him
A token of the land
A sign of hope, a newborn olive leaf
All were saved and he prepared
To restore the birth of man
And the Lord above was pleased
