The Presence of Your Spirit (Copyright Len Magee 1974) The Ark 1 God looked down upon the world many years ago He saw the awful sin of man about to overflow Only Noah was righteous, only Noah walked with God Only Noah believed Him when He said there'd be a flood 2 Now God told Noah to build an ark: 'Build it big and wide Round up all the animals and put them safe inside Then come in with all your folk and I will close the door And in the morning this world will be no more' Are you in the ark? Or are you outside? O don't hesitate, you'll be too late The door's open wide (repeat chorus). 3 Now people stood outside the door just like they do today They fell about all laughing at Noah's funny ways 'Ha! Noah's built himself an ark to sail it on dry ground' Meanwhile up above them the sky began to frown Are you in the ark?, etc. 4 Forty days and forty nights the rain came tumbling down Everyone inside the ark was warm and safe and sound Only those outside now they weren't laughing any more Rain and tears were mingled as they scratched upon the door Are you in the ark?, etc. 5 Now Jesus is God's ark today and in Him you must be His side was opened wide for you and me on Calvary If you're in Him and He's in you then you'll be lifted higher When God comes back to judge the world next time in flaming fire Chorus Are you in the arc?, etc. (Repeat chorus several times)
Not My Own 1 The Garden of Eden saw Adam and Eve The sin they did there caused all men to grieve Faced with a choice to rebel or obey Hear them say, 'Want my own, I want my own I want my own will not Thine' 2 All over the world in these last days of time Lost deep in sin, the people are crying 'We don't want Jesus, we don't want your law' Hear them say, 'Want my own, I want my own I want my own will not Thine' Has God spoken to your heart any time? Has He said: 'Make your will become Mine'?' 3 Who could there be who could save us from sin? Who'd open Heaven and let us go in? God sent His Son from the glory above Hear Him say, 'Not my own, no not my own No not my own will but Thine' Has God spoken to your heart any time? Has He said: 'Make your will become mine'? 4 See in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus, He prayed there for you and for me See as He struggled and sweat drops of blood Here Him say, 'Not my own, no not my own No not my own will but Thine No not my own, no not my own No not my own will, but Thine
Only A Prayer Away 1 One day I heard the ancient story Of a cross on a hill far away And now I've a friend up in glory And He's only a prayer away O He never would say: 'I'm too busy today' Every tear, every care, He's promised He will share And although He's the Lord of all glory Yet He's only a prayer away. 2 Sometimes I don't feel much like praying But He speaks words of love just the same And deep in my soul there starts flowing Living waters, songs of praise to His name O no He never would say, etc. 3 If I keep the cross e'er before me As I die I will live day by day If I sin, If I fall, He'll restore me For He's only a prayer away O no He never would say, etc. Yes although He's the Lord of all glory Yet He's only a prayer away
That Day 1 I'm looking forward to that day The clouds of life will blow away The bells of Heaven they will ring And everywhere the saints will sing That will be dawn in my heart on that day That will be joy that no words can ever say 2 There is gonna be no doubt I'll hear the trumpet and a shout First there's gonna be a hush Then there'll be a great big rush That will be dawn in my heart on that day That will be joy that no words can ever sa 3 Yes I'm looking forward to that day The clouds of life will blow away The bells of Heaven they will ring And everywhere the saints will sing Ah when Jesus comes and takes me to be with Him
You Can Know 1 You've seen the birds and trees The mountains and blue seas You've watched as nature's mysteries unfold But somewhere in the blue When God first spoke to you You've tried to tell yourself they all evolved You can know peace of mind today You can know the great joy of the knowledge Of all of your sin washed away You can live your life and be strong You can know the right from the wrong But if you turn away His love today You don't know when He'll call 2 Somewhere in your mind You're waking up to find There's an awful lot of nothing in your heart And now the time has come When something must be done Don't you think you ought to make a start? You can know, etc. 3 Somewhere deep inside A door must open wide And let the Saviour of the world come in His love you can't ignore So open up the door The thing that keeps it closed is really sin You can know, etc. He'll call No you don't know when He will call
Come With Us 1 What have you got to live for in a world that's slowly dying? Where everything you have will pass away (and you know it) What have you got to die for if you don't know where you're going? Jesus offers you a better way Come with us and we will do you good For the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel Come with us and we will do you good For the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel 2 Now you can't see the church of Jesus if you only see the building And that's what Satan wants the world to see (that's what they're seeing) But the church is made of people who have been forgiven and their hearts are yielding To the Lord, Lord eternally So come with us and we will do you good For the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel Hear the words of Moses Come with us and we will do you good For the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel* *Numbers 10 v 29
Watch And Pray (Composed by Len Magee and Gwen Murray) 1 Tomorrow I'm going away There's a shadow of a cross on my soul Can I face the coming day? Shall I pray 'Father save me from this role?' O disciples please watch o'er my soul one hour Dark and lonely is the way For my purpose in life was to come to this hour So please watch and pray 2 Let this cup pass away from me If there is no other way to fulfill I will lay down my life for Thee For my joy and delight is Thy will O disciples please watch, etc. 3 Tomorrow I'm going to die My disciples are going to see That If I am lifted high I will draw a multitude unto me Chorus O disciples please watch, etc. Please, please, please watch and pray Please, please, please watch and pray Walk With Jesus Walk with Jesus every day And He's promised to guide you all the way Walk with Jesus straight and pure and you'll see Walk with Jesus and you'll be free 1 What you are at this moment has some bearing On the way you'll face your life in years to come If you're wise you will spend your life preparing And stop living for the moment's passing fun And walk with Jesus every day For He's promised to guide you all the way Walk with Jesus straight and pure and you'll see Walk with Jesus and you'll be free 2 Now the road that leads to life is strait and narrow And there's few there be that find it, sad to say But our Father has His eye upon the sparrow He will lead you, bring you to the perfect day So walk with Jesus every day And He's promised to guide you all the way

The Voice Of Jesus 1 A lonely heart, a thirsty soul cross the world did roam Looking for I don't know what, trying to find a home Then I heard a voice say 'I'll set you free' T'was the voice of Jesus calling to me: (Joshua 1 v 9). Be strong and of good courage Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed For the Lord thy God is with thee Whithersoever thou goest 2 A lonely heart, a thirsty soul heard that voice with tears And at the cross upon my knees I gave Him all my fears I'd never heard a voice before so tender, so sweet T'was the voice of Jesus calling His sheep Be strong, etc. 3 A lonely heart, a thirsty soul are just a memory For Jesus lives, and always gives peace and joy to me How could I resist it, that voice from above? I heard the voice of Jesus and I fell in love The Day Will Come 1 Many days have come and gone since my Lord spoke to me And He opened up the archives of my mind so I could see Said His love had got no end and He'd always be my friend And I don't feel quite so home here any more But I know the day will come when I will look upon His face And He'll take me home to distant lands Yes I know the day will come when I will look upon His face And I'll see the nail prints in His hands Yes I'll see the nail prints in His hands 2 All the pleasures of this world grow dryer day by day And I only burn my hands as I touch them on the way And I see in looking round everything is falling down And I don't feel quite so home here any more But I know the day will come, etc. 3 God has given me a seal that Jesus is real By His Spirit in my heart, and more and more I feel That I'm just not satisfied, I'm like the waiting bride And I don't feel quite so home here any more. But I know the day will come, etc.
