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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Because of a fall retreat I just came back from, I have a new appreciation of this song. During the retreat, the main topic was Noah and the ark, and we discussed how the ark signifies the church, and how everything outside is just of the world.
The lines, "O the joy to hear Your call
And enter in the Ark.
Saving us from day to day
O Lord, this is Your way."
Just show us how precious the ark and the church is, how we need to be saved from day to day.
Another aspect that was discussed was the matter of the raven and the dove: both were part of the ark, but once released, the dove came back, but the raven disappeared, most likely to eat of the dead carcasses, symbolizing the things of the world.
The beginning of the second stanza:
"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 should not be "seeking of this age," eating of the things of the world like the raven: we should be like the dove, who always returns to the ark.

Dear God, Please give me enough patience to wait for Your answers to my prayers. And if what I'm asking is not aligned accordingly to Your will, please have Your way. I know that You have better plans for me, much better that what I could even pray for. Forgive me for all the short comings. Thank You for your grace and mercy. Remind me always to turn my heart back to You and stay strong of what is true.

Every time I listen to this song I turn my heart to the Lord, and I thank Him for all the wonderful things He has done in my life.

"No matter what our friends say to us or do, oh Lord Jesus we love You." As a student, it's really hard for me sometimes to declare my faith when school life is so worldly, I need His grace in order to love Him no matter what my friends say to me or do to me. Amen.
