God Said to Noah – The Earth’s Getting Hotter Hotter

The Jewish environmental movement rarely provides us with the opportunity to sing.  But Rabbi Arthur Waskow from the Shalom Center has tweaked an ol’ favorite to inspire awareness around Global Scorching, as he calls it. As he says, the song is updated for the 21st Century and the Global Climate Crisis. Melody and some words, traditional;  remainder by Rabbi Arthur Waskow Copyright (c) 2007, 2008 by Rabbi Arthur Waskow. All rights reserved.

God said to Noah, The earth’s getting hotter, hotter, God said to Noah, The earth’s getting hotter, hotter, Yet she is My (clap) beloved daughter, daughter — Children of the Lord.

CHORUS:

Rise and shine and give God your glory glory Rise and shine and give God your glory glory Rise and shine and (clap!) give God your glory glory Children of the Lord!

People are making My air too smoky, smoky People are making My air too smoky, smoky Fix it now! and (clap) don’t be pokey, pokey — Children of the Lord.

If you won’t cool down each auto and furnace, furnace, If you won’t cool down each auto and furnace, furnace, The heat and smoke will (clap) start to burn us,  burn us Children of the Lord.

CHORUS

The ice it will melt so there’s gonna be a floody floody Yes!  — God said to Noah there’s gonna be a floody floody Get My children (clap!) out of the muddy muddy Children of the Lord
