Introduction
Imagine you’re listening to the gentle strum of a guitar and the unmistakable harmony of The Statler Brothers’ voices as they start telling one of the oldest stories in the world. This is “Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord,” a song that takes an ancient, almost mythical tale and brings it down to earth in that warm, relatable style only The Statler Brothers could pull off.
What makes this song special? At first listen, it’s a classic Statler Brothers track, wrapped in their signature blend of country and gospel. But it goes deeper. Here, they’re not just recounting a story from the Bible; they’re tapping into themes of faith, redemption, and unwavering hope that have resonated for centuries. They give us Noah’s story in a way that feels both grand and intimate, like a lesson gently shared by a friend over coffee, only with harmonies that feel like home.
The Statler Brothers had a knack for making spiritual themes accessible. They grew up in Virginia, rooted in gospel and country traditions, which shaped their unique ability to infuse music with a genuine reverence. “Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord” fits right into their repertoire. Through their voices, we’re reminded that while Noah’s story may be ancient, the themes of faith and resilience are as relevant today as ever.
Now, let’s talk about the music itself. The song has a catchy, upbeat rhythm that almost feels like a march—a purposeful journey that mirrors Noah’s own faith-fueled mission. When you hear the first few chords, you’re drawn in, like you’re about to embark on a journey yourself. And then the vocals hit—layered harmonies that feel like a gospel choir, evoking that spirit of unity and shared purpose. This isn’t just a story about Noah; it’s a reminder of what can be achieved with a bit of grace and a lot of faith.
What’s especially beautiful about the song is how it captures the moment Noah found grace—not in a distant or lofty way but in a way that feels relatable. The Statler Brothers don’t make it sound like Noah was a perfect man or had all the answers. Instead, he was someone who listened, trusted, and acted in faith. And by sharing his story, the Statler Brothers invite us to find our own moments of grace, those times when we feel seen, supported, or given strength just when we need it most.
“Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord” isn’t just about a Bible story; it’s about the timeless power of faith and resilience. It’s a song that reminds us of the beauty of perseverance, of holding onto what’s right even when the storm clouds gather. And in typical Statler Brothers fashion, it’s delivered with just the right blend of reverence, warmth, and a touch of Southern charm.

Lyrics
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
That is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Well the Lord looked down from His window in the sky and said
I created man but I don’t remember why
Nothin’ but fightin’ since creation day
I’ll send a little water and I’ll wash’em all away
So the Lord came down to look around a spell
And there He found Noah behavin’ mighty well
And that is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
That is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
The Lord said Noah there’s gonna’ be a flood
And there’s gonna be some water and there’s gonna be some mud
Take off your hat Noah and take off your coat
Get Ham, Shem and Japath, and build yourself a boat
Noah said Lord I don’t believe I could
The lord said Noah get some sturdy gopher wood
Ya never know what you can do till you try
Build it 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
That is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah said there it is, there it is Lord
The Lord said Noah it’s time to get aboard
Now take a creature a he and a she
And of course Mrs. Noah and the whole family
Noah said Lord it’s gettin’ mighty dark
The Lord said Noah get these creatures in the ark
Noah said Lord it’s beginin’ to pour
The Lord said Noah hurry up and shut the door
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
That is the reason the Scriptures record
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Well the ark rose up on the foot of the deep
And after 40 days Mr.Noah took a peek said
We ain’t movin’ Lord where are we at
The Lord said you’re sittin’ on a mountain Ararat
Noah said Lord it’s gettin’ mighty dry
The Lord said Noah see My rainbow in the sky
Take all the creatures and people to earth
And don’t be more trouble than you’re worth
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
And he landed high and dry
And he landed high and dry
And he landed high and dry
