ABOVE THE FLOOD<\/p>\n

We are all in the same boat,
\nWhen it comes to topic of sin,
\nWe can’t get out of that moat,
\nIt is no help to look within.<\/p>\n

Must raise our eyes to Heaven,
\nTo the one who bore the Cross,
\nFor Jesus is our healing leaven,
\nAnd He alone our sins can toss.<\/p>\n

Above the water we’ll then rise,
\nDevil’s flood won’t keep us down,
\nTo Heaven bound with bright eyes,
\nWhere God will give us our Crown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
