1 Dearest Lord, You’ve called us here, And opened up Your heart. O the joy to hear Your call And enter in the Ark. Saving us from day to day O Lord, this is Your way. In Yourself we stay afloat, Above this wicked age today. Thank You Lord, in Your eyes we find grace, And with open hearts we come to You. Regardless what our friends might say to us or do, O Lord Jesus, we love You. 2 Seeking of this age to taste, And of it have a part. If we only knew, dear Lord, The ways we grieve Your heart. We would come and turn to You With a repenting heart, And would give ourselves to be With you, O Lord, inside the Ark. 3 Praise You Lord, we’re safe in You; Outside death-waters pour. Many things that I once loved Are on the ocean floor. Keep us open to You Lord, Don’t let us miss the mark. Hallelujah, praise the Lord, We’re here within the church, the Ark.
