In the days of Noah before the Lord When the wicked had all forgotten God Brother Noah, built a boat, which above Gods wrath did float And the people saw that they were made of mud As the doors swang open and gang plank standing out Noah and his family entered with a shout As the scorners stretched their necks Noah stepped out on the deck Saying, Im so glad Im on the inside looking out [Chorus] Oh Id rather be on the inside looking out Than to be on the outside looking in When the rain began to fall, sinners on the Lord did call The door was shut and night was setting in Then old Noah from the window looking out Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout And he said I thank the Lord that I took Him At His word Im so glad Im on the inside looking out Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago And he had the grace to tell the devil no Though he prayed three times a day in the Good old fashioned way They said he, to the lions den must go And lions made him welcomed to their home For they knew he was nothing but backbone When the king looked in and said, Are you Alive or are you dead? He was stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle tones
noah, looking, daniel, lion, inside
