The Ark from REVIVAL by Songwriter Kristen Plylar-Moore

LYRICS
Lightning in the air, tremble in the clouds
Oceans rising up once again spill out
Through the broken sky pours a driving rain
Rushing to the world age old hurricane

We’ve been here before among the wild wind
Bracing for a storm waves of fear roll in
Losing ground to seas of waters still unknown
Greatest of the fears we might be alone

How do we survive, keep our heads above
Rising river tides when treading’s not enough
A vessel we can raise, a channel we can forge
Ride the ocean waves until we find the shore

CHORUS:
We can build the ark together
Together we can face the storm
Our hands will be the timber
Our hearts the open door
We can build the ark together
Together we can face the storm

Everyone on board’s got a challenge every day
On the look out for new threats and castaways
But the struggle’s not the same, some of us are free
Some fight to raise a sail, others just to breathe

We’ve been here before, standing on the deck
Watching tidal waves hit one side spare the next
There’s a promise we can make will we follow through
If you look out for me, will I look out for you

Can we stay awake through the tempest night
For each other’s sake refuse to close our eyes
From the mountain top, when the waters all recede
Will we have become the world we want to be

CHORUS

We can’t be afraid
When it’s time to send the dove
Like hope we’ve got to let her fly
And keep a steady march for The
Community Beloved
That bow in the sky

We can build the ark together
Together we can face the storm
Our hands will be the timber
Our hearts the open door
We can build the ark together we can face the storm
Our hands will be the timber
Our hearts the open door
We can build the ark together we can face the storm
