Dearest Lord, You've called us here

Be saved from this crooked generation! (Acts 2:40)

Let's be saved from this crooked generation and live a normal church life in the teaching and the fellowship of the apostles. (cf. Acts 2:40, 42)

"Be" is active, referring to our willingness to cooperate with God. "Saved" is passive, referring to our being replaced by God's life and nature. Be saved! Be willing to receive God's transforming work within us!

Actively enjoy this hymn and be saved into God's will - the ark.

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.

(Chorus)
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.

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.

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.
