Ark of Peace

Ark of peace, ark of safety

The cross will carry  us to glory

This love still marks the souls of men

With compassion and a burden

Marks us with pain for a dying world

And  lives that on sin's rocks are hurled.

Ark of peace, ark of safety

The cross will carry  them to glory

Ark of safety, Ark of peace, 

Help us drink these facts and feast

Mine were the sufferings you bore

Mine the bloody stripes you wore

Mine the sorrows that you carried

Pierced for my faults, dead and buried

Crushed because of my own sin

And all the iniquities of men

Your punishment brought us peace

Secured the prisoner's release

Ark of peace, ark of safety

The cross will carry  us to glory
