Don't Miss The Ark



Don't Miss The Ark
                                                                       
By George Thurlow


The closing days are upon us.
Of hope be not bereft.
Flee unto the ark of safety.
It's time to "get right or get left." *

Judgment's coming upon this world,
The Age of Grace near o'er.
Christ is the tower of refuge.
Enter through the Door.

The ship of Zion's loading up,
For heaven soon we'll embark.
Repent! Be rapture ready!
And please don't miss the Ark.

As in the days of Noah,
These too are evil days;
But God in His infinite mercy
Has offered us a way.

To escape from the wrath about to fall,
Up hither we will fly...
Sailing through the portals of Glory
To the Marriage Supper in the sky!

 

 

Oh the ship of Zion's loading up

For heaven soon we'll embark.

Repent! Be rapture ready!
And please don't miss the Ark.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
