Hold Me Tonight O Lord, a miracle is changing my life Seeing what it’s like through your eyes how it’s so lost without you. O Lord, they’re running on through your stop light Believing if it’s fun it’s all right But they’re so lost without you Hold me tonight and we’ll be all right Hold me tonight till the morning light I tell them everything is going to be all right Oh, and I know, it will be so I tell them you’ll return, it could be tonight, tonight, tonight O Lord, I really can’t stand those bright lights Then again I can’t take those cold nights They were so hard without you O Lord, they’re running on through your stop light Believing if it’s fun it’s all right But they’re so lost without you Hold me tonight and we’ll be all right Hold me tonight till the morning light

Birthsong 02:28
Birthsong I used to think what could a poor boy say Up to the man above But then I thought that I knew everything I thought that love was just love. What did you do, to get me loving you? Tell me where did you come from? Tell me where did you come from? I used to laugh about the things they’d say I thought I was so tough But then you came and loved me so completely I cried “enough’s enough” What did you do, to get me loving you? Tell me where did you come from? Tell me where did you come from? I was newborn, awakened my soul Come on, I’m gonna let you guide me What did you do, to get me loving you? Tell me where did you come from? Tell me where did you come from? Tell me where did you come from? Tell me, Tell me, Where did you come from.(repeat)

For All You Know For all you know the world may not be turning And what you thought would last is at an end You always said tomorrow you would change things But today your soul’s required of you. For all you know the fire may now be burning For all the fools who’ve found they’re out of luck They always said tomorrow they would change things Before the day their life would be reviewed For all who love the King he’ll be returning He promised he would take his children home He always said tomorrow would be too late Today your life can be renewed For all you know the world may not be turning And what you thought would last is at an end You always said tomorrow you would change things But today your soul’s required of you.

A Place for Love You, you who gave your love to me Taught me what a love should be You’re more than all the world to me Me, me who was afraid of love Don’t know what I was thinking of I thought that I was good, good enough I’m glad I found a place for love True love means much more when two hearts are beating as one Treat Him kind now, and you will find how we’ll never be apart, again You, ooh you got me, love be true You came when I was sad and blue I always knew what I must do Glad I found a place for love Ooh you got, you got me Ooh you got me, Lord, you got me True love means much more when, two hearts are beating as one Treat him kind now, and you will find how we’ll never be apart again You, ooh you got me, love be true You came when I was sad and blue I always knew what I must do Glad I found a place for love Ooh you got me, you got me Ooh you got me, Lord, you got me (repeat)

Hungry World 02:50
Hungry World However do you tell a hopeful world That doesn’t even know the night from day They’re gonna see the day when their life goes wrong There’s nowhere they can hide away They better sort it out today However do you tell a broken world It doesn’t have to be afraid All they have to say and believe they’re saved Is Jesus is the only way They better say it right away He’s the only one worthy of the love you are giving Are you really that happy with the life you are living Well we all need love and this kind of love is unending However do you tell a hungry world that doesn’t have a thing to eat They’re gonna be in heaven where life goes on, sharing in eternity This hunger wasn’t meant to be He’s the only one worthy of the love you are giving Are you really that happy with the life you are living Yes we all need love and this kind of love is unending Well this hungry world is an angry world it’s demanding It’s a hungry world, It’s an angry world (repeat)

Don’t Look Now Here I stand with your book open in my hand and no one understands What’s the use of talking bout it all comes down to love in the end That’s all he ever said— Oh don’t you know That’s all he ever said So don’t look now love’s sneakin’ right up behind you And it won’t leave you quite the same Whatever you do, just take a good look around you And if you like it you can stay I tell you someone loves you, and if you hear these words Lift up your hands coz someone understands What’s the use of shouting’ ‘bout it all comes down to love in the end— That’s all he ever said Oh don’t you know—that’s all he ever said So don’t look now love’s sneakin’ right up behind you And it won’t leave you quite the same Whatever you do, just take a good look around you And if you like it you can stay What’s the use of talkin’ when it all comes down to love in the end— That’s all he ever said Oh don’t you know—that’s all he ever said So don’t look now love’s sneakin’ right up behind you And it won’t leave you quite the same Whatever you do, just take a good look around you And if you like it you can stay In His name we’ve come here may we invite you (but) if you don’t want to you can stay So don’t look now love’s sneakin’ right up behind you And it won’t leave you quite the same Whatever you do, just take a good look around you And if you like it you can stay

All To Pieces Well, all at once I went all to pieces It just took my whole breath away No one was more surprised than I was He just got me back on my knees Now I get up with you in the morning And you go out with me every day And if what I feel turns out to be real Just be careful what you say, hey-ey Well, I’ve been hopin’ and I’ve been waitin’ For a love that won’t fade away How that feelin’ came upon me Now I’ll keep it right here with me I give it all to you in the morning You give it all to me every day What can I say to you to make this one ring true If you can’t dig this you can’t dig nothin’, hey-ey Refrain Well come on, everybody-a-come-on everybody-a-come on, everybody a-come on || x2

Standing At the Door The Lord is standing at the door He only wants to give us more He only wants to keep us right, alright The Lord is always ready to receive us And when he does he’ll never leave us And all we’ve got to do is pray, okay I see the light coming to meet us, believers Night after night let nothing deceive us, believers, oh oh The Lord is standing at the door He said he’d love to tell you more He has to leave you free to choose, so don’t lose And so the Holy Spirit will retrieve us I do believe he wants to lead us And let the devil go to hell, oh well I see the light coming to meet us, believers Night after night let nothing deceive us, believers, oh oh

Arms of the Lord To fall into the arms of the Lord is the sweetest thing To win, to give it all up to Him is the greatest thing On and on I see angels coming Movin’ on, I know the heavens will ring And all God’s children will rise up and sing By letting go, each child here will show His love in everything To let him in, to be broken by him Is the final thing On and on I see angels coming Movin’ on I know the heavens will ring And all God’s children will rise up and sing As each branch of the vine becomes aware of the time Keep it right in line and blessed in its growing Take the bread and the wine, here in this holy shrine Standing on promises of faith in the knowing On and on I see Jesus coming Movin’ on I know the heavens will ring And all God’s children will rise up and sing

Why 02:34
Why Why do we always run away From the only one that matters Why do we always turn away From the only one that matters You look at me like I’m a fool But I didn’t make the rules I just want to help you So why do we always run away From the only one that matters Why—do we always run away From the only one that matters anyway You look at me like I’m a fool But I didn’t make the rules

about

Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music -
"Criminally unsuccessful, ARK made one album of likable, melodic songs with a sound that suggested a merger of the Hollies and the Byrds. They were able to find that line between aggressive pop and melodic rock that groups like the Rolling Stones demonstrated so well on "Out of Time" and Ruby Tuesday". The opening track "Hold me Tonight" is but one of the pop gems ready to delight the ear and the soul with its jangly guitars, sweet British harmonies, and simple but evangelical lyrics."

Won "Album of the Year" award from Campus Life Magazine in 1979.

Voted One of CCM's 500 Best Albums of All Time
Christian music historians often point to Ark as the band that forced others in the industry to take their quality and authenticity up a notch.
Every song is very memorable and destined for radio, but with no support the album ended up destined for cut out bins. I have yet to meet anyone that owns the album that doesn’t consistently rave about it.
