Lyrics

There'll be marching, marching, marching, When the Army comes to town, There'll be banners, there'll be bonnets, there'll be drums, And they'll dig out all the sinners from the slums. There'll be singing, singing, singing, When the Army comes to town, And they're going to turn the world upside down, When The Salvation Army comes to town.

There'll be preaching, there'll be prancing, They'll get on their knees and pray, There'll be music, there'll be dancing, And the tambourines will play. You just watch, you'll find the drunks will give up drinking, And of course we'll give up swearing right away, We may even have to change our way of thinking, When the Army gets here to stay!

There'll be marching, marching, marching, When the Army comes to town, And they're going to turn the world upside down, When The Salvation Army comes to town!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 439

There is a message, a simple message, And it's a message for us all; There is a Saviour, and what a Saviour! There is a Saviour for us all.

Let's look at Jesus, for he's the Saviour, And he will answer when we call; Let's look at Jesus, for he's the Saviour, Yes, he's the Saviour for us all.

If you want pardon, then ask for pardon, And God's own pardon shall be yours; For those who seek him are sure to find him, And none who seek him Christ ignores.

Though you have failed him, and how you've failed him! Though you have failed him, God loves you; The proof is Jesus, so look at Jesus, And learn from Jesus God loves you.

Lyrics

The long trombone with the velvet tone says 'Christ alone could save me' - The 'E flat bass' with the shiny face tells of the grace he gave me - The band has got to testify to sinners who surround us Of what God's done through Christ the Son, whose kindnesses astound us! The baritone is simply blown to bless the grace that found us -

La la la, La la la, La la la la la la la

With gentle hum the euphonium says 'Won't you come to Jesus?' - 'No more I'll mourn,' says the tenor horn, 'My chains have 'gorn' to pieces!' - The band has got to preach as well with every semi-quaver, In snow or sleet out in the street, our witness must not waver, The cornet clear, both far and near, calls men to hear their Saviour -

'We can be free,' says the 'double B', 'and find the key to Glory!' - The cornets fine all their notes entwine to underline the story - The band has got to pray as well - the devil can't stand praying! The band must play and preach and pray, the Word of God obeying, 'Now don't be glum but come, come, come,' that's what the drum keeps saying -

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (1987) No. 244

In your heart of hearts are you a trifle weary, Is there part of you your better self deplores? Do you want the power to be a better person? If you want it--it's yours!

If you want it--it's yours! If you want it--it's yours! Do you want the power to be a better person? If you want it--it's yours!

Is your mind mixed up and are your thoughts in turmoil? Are you tired of fighting, are you sick of wars? Would you like some peace instead of inner conflict? If you want it--it's yours!

Are you somewhat sad and wish that you were happy? Real contentment has a special set of laws; Joy is not for sale, it's only found in Jesus; If you want it--it's yours!

Lyrics

I've been a selfish person I'm ashamed to say, You know it's true. (We know it's true.) I've always set my heart at getting my own way, You know it's true. (It's true!) But I have found salvation from my selfishness, Experienced forgiveness like a deep caress, I want to live for others and God's love express, You know it's true. (Its' true!)

Oh. When you've got salvation you've got everything! The chance to live, the right to sing. When you've got salvation you've got everything! The world belongs to you. The power and peace that never cease, The kind of joy none can destroy, The deepest heart tranquillity, And light and life and liberty. When you've got salvation you've got everything! The chance to life, the right to sing. When you've got salvation you've got everything! The world belongs to you.

The drink's been my undoing, it took all my cash, You understand? (We understand!) A drop too much, I'd stagger home my wife to bash, You understand? (We do!) But I have got salvation and it's changed my life, Our home is filled with happiness in place of strife, And if you don't believe me you can ask my wife, You understand? (We do!)

I've always been a gambler and I've sometimes won, I've sometimes won. (You've sometimes won!) But I'd lost all my money when the day was done, I'd lost the lot. (That's right!) But since I got converted I have backed a cert, I've found the Lord's a winner and I won't desert. Upon his power to keep me I would bet my shirt, With him I win! (That's right!)

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 482 (Chorus Only)

We're both seeking the same Saviour, We're both seeking the selfsame Lord. We're both claiming the same cleansing, We're both finding our peace restored.

Varied are the wants we name, the prayers we plead, Yet essentially the same the grace we need, Different in a thousand ways, in this the same: Side by side in prayer and praise that grace we claim.

We're all seeking the same Saviour, We're all seeking the selfsame Lord. We're all claiming the same cleansing, We're all finding our peace restored.

Every seeker comes alone to make his prayers, But before one common throne we bring our cares; Coming with an inward awe, our Lord to meet, We are not alone before the mercy seat.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 404 (Verse 1 and Chorus Only)

Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Glory! Praise the Lord!

When the glory gets into your soul, my brother; When the glory gets into your soul, my friend; Then you'll shout the praises of your heavenly Father, When the glory gets into your soul.

When the glory, glory, when the glory, glory, When the glory gets into your soul. Then you'll shout the praises of your heavenly Father, When the glory gets into your soul.

When the glory gets into your feet, my brother; When the glory gets into your feet, my friend; Then you'll shout the praises of your heavenly Father. When the glory gets into your feet!

When the glory gets into your hands, my brother; When the glory gets into your hands, my friend; Then you'll shout the praises of your heavenly Father. When the glory gets into your hands!

Lyrics

Though I feel my weakness and I know my sin, Still I come with boldness and my prayers begin; Why should I delay when I am sure of this: My sincere petition you will not dismiss.

Boldly appealing, trustfully kneeling, I come to you, my Saviour, you, my Lord; Certain of pardon, sure of my welcome, Coming with confidence to be restored.

I recount my failings, my defeats I own, Where else can I leave them but before your throne? Rid me of their burden, cleanse me of my guilt, Breaking every barrier that my pride has built.

In the new temptations that each day will bring, Save me from self-confidence in everything, Pardon I am sure of, make me sure of power, Yours will be sufficient for the day, the hour.

Lyrics

Cleanliness is next to godliness, soap and water is divine, It's not enough to talk of holiness, your furniture has got to shine! No use in going on about your washed-white soul If you dare not hang your washing on the line! Cleanliness is next to godliness, soap and water is divine!

Take a scrubbing brush, take a Bible, Get right down on your knees; Say a prayer awhile, scrub the stair awhile, If the Lord you'd please. 'Cos -

Keep your windows clean, keep your heart clean, Hygiene goes with hope; Shake the ashes out, praise the Lord and shout, Satan can't stand soap! 'Cos -

Lyrics

The name of Jesus will scatter your shadows, The name of Jesus brings hope again, The powers of darkness in vain oppose you When you but whisper his wonderful name: Jesus! O Jesus, Jesus! O Jesus, Jesus! O wonderful name! Jesus! O Jesus, Jesus! O Jesus, Jesus! O wonderful name! The powers of darkness in vain oppose you When you but whisper his powerful name.

When shadows fall and cares enthral, Confused, clouded the way; When strain and stress the mind possess, The heart fills with dismay; When faith is frail and fears assail, And doubt darkens the day, For a time like this your Saviour came, Why won't you whisper his precious name?

When sad at heart, when tear-drops start, When gloom gathers around; When strength has failed and grief prevailed, And foes seem to abound; When tempest-tossed, when all seems lost And friends cannot be found, For a time like this your Saviour came, Why won't you whisper his precious name?

Lyrics

You don't have to be clever, though it may well help, You don't have to be handsome, praise God! (Praise God!) You don't have to be wealthy, or for that matter healthy, If your heart's all right you'll do, you'll do, If your heart's all right you'll do!

In the service of Jesus there's a place for all, If we're towering giants or just kinda small, If you've been up to college or you don't know much, If you're childlike you're welcome for the book says of such That the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs!

You don't have to be spotless, you could always bath! You don't have to be polished, praise God! (Praise God!) If you're thin or you're fatter, for this job it don't matter, If your heart's all right you'll do, you'll do, If your heart's all right you'll do!

If you've got pots of money, or you're stony broke, On the dole or redundant, praise God! (Praise God!) Like a toff or in tatters, there's just one thing that matters, If your heart's all right, you'll do, you'll do, If your heart's all right you'll do!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 29

Have you ever stopped to think how God loves you? It sounds quite incredible, and yet it's true. Nothing on this earth or in the heavens above Is as sure and certain as God's love.

O it's as high as the sky and it's as deep as the sea, And it's as wide as the world, God's love for you and for me. We can't escape his love, or take ourselves out of his care, So where could we hide from his love? His love is everywhere.

Everything is changing in the world today, There's one thing reliable in every way, Other things may alter but it's clear and plain That the love of God is just the same.

Wider than the human mind can realise, His love is unlimited and never dies; Though we don't deserve it, every day it's new; That's the love of God for me and you.

Lyrics

If we say that we have no sin Then we deceive ourselves, it's true; But when we own our sins, and then disown our sins, The work of grace begins anew.

It's the work of a moment, it's the work of a life-time, It begins in an instant, it may take eternity, But the work of the Spirit, of the world-changing Spirit, Can begin at this moment in me! In me - even in me!

If my weakness I will not own Then I'll be always weak and wrong; If I pretend no more, my self-deceit abhor, Then he can make me pure and strong.

Lyrics

There is a time for tears, a time for sighing, (sighing, sighing, sighing); There is a place for grief, a place for crying, (crying, crying, crying); But in the mystery of unanswered prayers Let faith hold fast to this: God cares, God cares, God cares!

The sun won't always shine, sometimes the rain-clouds form, And from the clearest sky may fall the thunder-storm; The unexpected stress awakens sleeping fears, And faith must find its way through mists of bitter tears.

It's easy to believe in providential care When trust is still untried by doubt and black despair; But in the longest night, when fear and pain are real, Then faith will prove itself, its courage will reveal.
