| 0:04.4 | Genesis chapter 8, verse 1. |
| 0:07.3 | But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. |
| 0:14.0 | And God made a wind blow over the earth and the waters subsided. |
| 0:19.7 | As I read that verse, I want to camp out and pray according to the first |
