Verse 1
Dearest Lord, You’ve called us here,
And opened up Your heart.
Oh 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 the wicked age today.

Chorus
Thank You, Lord, in Your eyes, we find grace.
And with opened hearts we come to You.
Regardless what our friends might say to us or do,
O Lord Jesus, we love You.

Verse 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.

Verse 3
Praise the 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.
