The Pastor's ark

In the pastor’s ark
I have found God’s warmth, comfort, and security
I have been protected from many spiritual wolves
I have been fed, and nourished very carefully

In the pastor’s ark
I have found God’s knowledge, wisdom, and understanding
With every word given, there is a nail added to the Ark of covering
Where I come to be delivered and healed
While preparing my soul for a life everlasting

In the pastor’s ark
I have found God’s boldness, courage, and strength
I have witnessed the spirits of the enemy take flight
Because my Pastor is a mighty warrior,
and powerful servant of God
Not intimidated by others because of title, gender, age, or height

In the pastor’s ark
I’ve learned not to rely on what I may,
or may not have in my hands
I have learned not to let natural circumstances be controlling
Because everything that I’ll ever need to succeed in life
Has already been placed on the inside of me

In the Pastor’s ark
I’ve learned that the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
are all fine in their proper time and place
But our main focus should be on telling everyone else
about our Heavenly Father above

I’ve learned that of all the gifts that God has given me
Naturally, and spiritually
Through the pastor of this ark,
I have been given the greatest gift of all
The gift of God’s unconditional love
