Dearest Lord, You’ve Called Us Here

1. Dearest Lord, You’ve called us here,
   感謝你召我這裡
   And opened up Your heart.
   並打開你心房
   O the joy to hear Your call
   真高興聽你呼召
   And enter in the Ark.
   可以到你船上
   Saving us from day to day
   拯救我們每一天
   O Lord, this is Your way.
   你名真是新鮮
   In Yourself we stay afloat,
   在你裡我們上浮
   Above this wicked age today.
   離開已毀壞的今天

*Thank You Lord, in Your eyes we find grace,
感謝在你眼中，我蒙恩
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,
   尋找世代的滋味
   And of it have a part.
   將這些心底藏
   If we only knew, dear Lord,
   如果我們知道，主
   The ways we grieve Your heart.
   這些將你心傷
   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.
