INSIDE THE ARK

When the storms of life
Roll in
Help us to remember then
We are – Inside the Ark

When thunderous waves crash
Against the bow
Help us to discover how
We are – Inside the Ark

We are the Righteousness
Of God in Christ
Believing gives each of us
The right

To claim our refuge
From the storm
Where we will be kept
Safe and warm – Inside the Ark

If I am in Jesus and He is in Me
We are in the Father
Don’t you see?
We are – Inside the Ark!

It is when gale-force winds
Relentlessly blow
Believers in Christ have come to know
We are – Inside the Ark

Inside the Ark that Noah built Symbolically saved from all guilt

We deserved to be wiped off
The face of the earth
Yet He loved us so much
Enough to preserve

Mankind from His wrath
On judgment day
So Believers now too
Can stay – Safe Inside the Ark

His promise, His protection
His provision – fare
His compassionate, lovingkindness
And care

Surround us when we gather
There – Inside the Ark

When things don’t appear as they seem When pantomime enters the scene
A mastery of deception
Becomes the theme

Only Believers awake from nightmares
Or bad dreams – Inside the Ark

Refuge is provided to sustain
Believers caught
In life’s
Torrential rains

No ticket needed for the train
Inside the Ark

When stormy, treacherous seas
Surround
Or flood waters amass and
Cover the ground

Even then…
When we fall face down
We are – INSIDE THE ARK

Do Not Be Dismayed

O dark doth seem the day ahead
When thoughts bow low to feelings dread

No joyous song from hearts forlorn
If battle scars bleed open, torn

Good will of great men
Tireless energy spent

When birthed of God
Brings fruition His intent

Shining light unto darkness
The Sovereign seizes the day

Dread bows to Hope
Do Not Be Dismayed!

The Lord God on High
Sits in control

Of authorities placed
Within the world’s mold

Evil may flourish
Without His consent

Yet to Glorify God
Is His ultimate intent

Pride and prejudice
Will be brought to its knees

The sin of a nation
Now humbled, will plead

Mercy from The Father
Lord, We ask you to lead

Lead us out of the darkness
And into the light

We will Not Be Dismayed
When we are called to fight

With sword in hand
Or in prayer on our knees

We will fight for the right
To continue to live Free

Be Not Discouraged!
Do Not Be Dismayed!

The King’s final move
Has not yet been played

The Lord Will Fight For Us

The Lord will fight for us
Be still, keep silent, remain calm

The Lord will fight for us
Praise Him, adore His indwelling alms

Of justice and righteousness
Over all believers He reigns

The Lord will fight for us
Keep silent, allow Calm to sustain

Sing praises to The Most High God
Do not be afraid!

Take your stand, be confident
In His salvation for you this day

Blessed is the Nation
Whose God is the Lord

Praise Him, Worship Him
Be forever restored

By His Grace, by His Mercy
His Majesty Reigns

The Lord Will fight for us
Because He died for us

That we would
FOREVER BE SAVED!
