Lyrics

Jesus folk! Jesus folk! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us. Jesus folk! Jesus folk! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us.

Who has heard his voice appealing? Jesus folk! Who has seen his light revealing? Jesus folk! Who has felt his power in healing? Jesus folk! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us.

Who has followed where he's leading? Jesus folk! Who has proved he's what they're needing? Jesus folk! Who has heard and who are heeding? Jesus folk! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us.

Jesus folk! (Hallelujah!) Jesus folk! (Hallelujah!) Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, (that's us) that's us (O glory!). Jesus folk! (Hallelujah!) Jesus folk! (Hallelujah!) Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, (that's us) that's us.

We came to Jesus when we heard him call. We came to Jesus and he healed us all; Sick in the body, in the mind, the soul, We came in fragments and he made us whole. We're Jesus folk because he made us see that God's in love with everyone! With you, and you, and you, and you, and me, and me, and me, and me,

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief! Black man, white man, underman chief! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us.

Gruff folk, rough folk, tough folk too! Young folk, old folk, folk like you! Jesus, Jesus folk! That's us, that's us (hey!).

Lyrics

The trouble with me is I can't, I can't! I want to so much but I can't, I can't! I want to do good and I know that I should, and I would if I could but I can't!

The trouble with her is she can't, she can't! She wants to so much but she can't, she can't! She wants to do good and she knows that she should, and she would if she could (But I can't!) But she can't.

There are sad folk I ought to make glad folk. And bad folk I'd like to make good; There are people depressed, disillusioned, distressed, That I'd like to cheer up if I could.

There's injustice that ought to be challenged, And evil that should be put right. And someone should speak for the meek and the weak, And I'd love to if only I might.

Lyrics

I was paralysed just like you, it's true, it's true! My hand was twisted and black and blue, it's true, it's true! Not firm and strong like the other one, its natural strength and health was gone. I could not do what I wanted to, it's true, true, true, true! Not firm and strong like the other one, its natural strength and health was gone. I could not do what I wanted to, it's true, it's true!

I met with Jesus he looked at me - he knew, he knew! Saw what it was that I longed to be - he knew, he knew! "Stretch out your hand, come along" he cried. I found I could if I only tried, The strength I needed he had supplied, it's true, true, true, true! "Stretch out your hand come along" he cried. I found I could if I only tried, The strength I needed he had supplied it's true, it's true!

This cure's for everyone, even you, it's true, it's true! Begin to do what you ought to do, yes you, yes you! You long to give to your fellow man, Christ calls on you to fulfil his plan, Stretch out your hand and you'll find you can, yes you, you, you, you! You long to give to your fellow man, Christ calls on you to fulfil his plan, Stretch out your hands and you'll find you can, yes you, yes you!

Lyrics

I'm as dead as the dodo darling! I don't feel a thing anymore. Deep down inside I must have died. I'm cold to the very core.

I'm as cold as the concrete darling! I'm as dull as piece of wood. It's years and years since I shed tears, and I only wish I could.

Life has no meaning, might as well be dead, inside my head I'm screaming! Sadness and sorrow don't get through to me, I may not see tomorrow.

Tell me it's treason, throwing in my hand, please understand my reason, Living is dying, starting from the womb. Life is a tomb of sighing.

I'm as dead as the dodo darling! I don't feel a thing anymore. Deep down inside I must have died, I'm cold icy cold. I'm cold, cold, cold, I'm cold to the very core.

Lyrics

They buried me deep when I died. But me? I don't remember! They tell me that everyone cried. But me? I don't remember!

They sang a sad song as they marched me along, They carried me high through the thick of the throng, The old folk complained that the road was too long. But me? I don't remember!

I expect they would pray and they'd preach. But me? I don't remember! And someone would make a long speech. But me? I don't remember!

I daresay they said they were said I was dead, And called down a blessing from God on my head, And then they went home to be feasted and fed. But me? I don't remember!

But me? I don't remember!

Lyrics

I am the resurrection and the life, He that believeth, he that believeth in me; Though he were dead, yet shall he live!

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me Shall never die! Shall never die! Shall never die!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 515

Out of my darkness he called me, Out of the depth of my night, Out of the shadows of sorrow, Into the life of his light.

Out of my darkness he called me, Out of my doubt, my despair, Out of the wastes of my winter, Into the spring of his care.

Out of your darkness he calls you, Out of your doubt, your despair, Out of the wastes of your winter, Into the spring of his care, Into the spring of his care.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 139

He came to give us life in all its fullness, He came to make the blind to see, He came to banish death and doubt and darkness, He came to set his people free. He liberating love imparted, He taught men once again to smile; He came to bind the broken hearted, And God and man to reconcile. He came to give us life in all its fullness, He came to make the blind to see, He came to banish death and doubt and darkness, He came to set his people free.

We wonder why Christ came into the world A helpless, homeless child; We wonder why he tolerated men, The tainted and defiled. We wonder why! We wonder why! The Son of God as man came down, What does this signify?

We wonder why Christ came into the world And let men hurt him so; We wonder why the Christ should have to die, Does anybody know? We wonder why! We wonder why! The Son of God as man came down, What does this signify?

Lyrics

Show us the Father we ask for nothing more. What sort of God is He? Show us the Father that's all we're waiting for! That's what we want to see! Is he a kind of judge sent to try the race? Some sort of Santa Claus way up there in space? Show us the Father, show us the Father, Show us the Father and that will do!

Look, look to Jesus, God is in Jesus, you look at Jesus and you'll see God. Look, look at the life he choose to lead, Look at the track he trod. Look, look at the face of Jesus Christ, this is the face of God! Look, look at the face of Jesus Christ, this is the face of God!

I saw him teaching the multitude, wonderful was his talk. I saw him raising the paralysed, making the lame man walk. I saw him touching the leper man, taking away his pain, I saw him murdered at Calvary, I saw him rise again.

Lyrics

Is there anyone here with an answer? Is there anyone here who knows? Is there anyone here who casts out fear and evil overthrows? Is there anyone here with an answer for the tempted and distressed? Is there anyone here who'll volunteer to free a soul possessed?

There is only one name that is given, there is only one name we need, There is only one Saviour for all the world Whose grace is guaranteed. There is only one name and it's Jesus. For the man who would be free; There is only one name and it's Jesus. For all the world and me!

Is there somebody here with an answer? Is there somebody here who knows? Is there somebody here who casts out fear and evil overthrows? Is there somebody here with an answer for the tempted and distressed? Is there somebody here who'll volunteer to free a soul possessed?

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Lord, let me go where you go, Lord, let me stay with you, Lord, let me walk where you walk, And do what you'd have me do.

Following close beside you, When other men deride you, Whatever may betide you. Lord!

Lyrics

Oh, the boat began to rock, oh, brother! And our knees began to knock, oh, brother! Every man began to fear that his end was drawing near, We all felt a kind of queer, oh, brother oh, brother oh, brother!

Then the rain began to pour, oh, sister! And the wind began to roar, oh, sister! Where's the one man in the boat who can keep this thing afloat? He's sleeping on his coat! Oh, sister, oh, sister, oh, sister!

This here ship's going down, oh, master! Don't you care we're gonna drown? Oh, master! You don't seem to care a jot, if we're saved or if we're not! It seems we've had our lot! Oh, master, oh, master, oh, master!

Look he's standing on his feet, oh, glory! And the waves are in retreat, oh, glory! Just a simple kinda phrase, and the storm hears what he says; The very wind obeys! Oh, glory, oh, glory, oh, glory!

Every man is on his knees, oh, Jesus! Do with us just as you please, oh, Jesus! You're the King and we can tell, you're the Lord of earth and hell, The Lord of us as well! Oh, Jesus, oh, Jesus, oh, Jesus!

My Lord!

Lyrics

He spoke and the winds obeyed him! He called, and the waters heard! The storms which sought to sink the ship subsided at his word!

He spoke, and the raindrops faltered! He called, and the sun came through! The rainbow hurried to fill the sky and paint the waters blue. The rainbow hurried to fill the sky and paint the waters blue.

He speaks and our fears obey him! He calls, and our doubts are stilled! The empty aching soul of man with peace and calm is filled.

He speaks and our faith is firmer! He calls and our hopes are strong! His presence scatters the darkest clouds and gives the heart a song. His presence scatters the darkest clouds and gives the heart a song.

Lyrics

I'm a rat! Think of that! And I run in the rat race of life. It may seem that I'm mean. What of that? I'm a rat! Ask my wife! I just grab what I can from my weak fellow man; If he gets in my way, I'll have something to say! I'm a rat! Yes, a brute! And I don't give a hoot! So there!

I am a rat! Just think of that! And I run in the rat race of life! I'm a dirty great rat, Oh yes a brute! And what's more I don't give a hoot! So there!

So there! So there?

Lyrics

Must I just stay the way I am? Can't I become a better man? Deep in the heart of me there is a part of me which says I can! I can! I can!

Can goodness root in me and grow? It seems impossible I know; But in the heart of me, there is a part of me which says it's so, which says it's so!

Lyrics

Zacchaeus was a very little man, and a very little man was he, And just about as odd a little man as any little man could be! Small in body, small in soul; bent and blistered, black as coal, A hunk of a man, a skunk of a man, A laugh of a man, a half of a man, A runt of a man, a stunt of a man! A veritable down right affront of a man!

Zacchaeus met another sort of man, a better sort of man was he, In fact he was the very sort of man that every sort of man should be! Clean in body, clean in mind, gentle, tolerant, good and kind; A clean sort of man, serene sort of man, A straight sort of man, a great sort of man, A fine sort of man, sublime sort of man! A veritable down right divine sort of man!

Zacchaeus maybe still a little man, as anybody here can see, And yet he is as changed a little man as any little man can be! Small in body, large in soul, generosity his goal; A gay sort of man, fine day sort of man, A kind sort of man, refined sort of man, A sound sort of man, profound sort of man! A veritable, veritable, veritable, veritable, down right, all round sort of man! A veritable, down right, all round sort of man!

Lyrics

There were a thousand voices calling, and my humble heart was stirred; There were a thousand voices calling, but above them all I heard...

Follow me! And we'll cleanse the leper. Follow me! And we'll raise the dead! Follow me! And we'll cleanse the leper. Follow me! And we'll raise the dead! And the lame shall walk, and the dumb shall speak, and the children shall be fed; And the lame shall walk, and the dumb shall speak, and the children shall be fed; Follow me! And we'll cleanse the leper. Follow me! And we'll raise the dead! Follow me! And we'll cleanse the leper. Follow me! And we'll raise the dead!

Follow me! Follow me! Follow me! Follow me!

There were a thousand voices calling, his above them all I heard; So I got up and followed Jesus, and I took him at his word.

Lyrics

One of you here will betray me, that's what he said, that's what he said. One of you here will betray me, wishes me dead, wishes me dead.

Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord, am I gonna break you? Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord, will I let them take you? Lord is it me?

One of you here will deceive me, and disobey and disobey, One of you here will deceive me, mark what I say, mark what I say.

Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord, am I gonna break you? Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord, will I let them take you? Lord is it me?

In what you think, or do, or say, You will desert me, run away. Weaklings! Failures! Traitors! Friends of mine!

Not me! Not me! Everybody else but me! Not me! Not me! Everybody else but me! Let them turn back, let them betray, let them like children run away. Not me! Not me! Everybody else but me! Not me! Not me! Everybody else but me!

Everyone here will desert me, not one remain, not one remain. Everyone here's gonna hurt me and cause me pain and cause me pain.

Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord, am I gonna break you? Lord is it me? Is it me? Is it me? Lord will I let them take you? Lord is it me?

Hurt me and harm me, Gore me and grieve me, Fail and forsake me, love me and leave me, Fail and forsake me and love me and leave me.

Peter before the cock will crow, You will deny you even know Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Lord of mine!

Lyrics

With terrible taunts they took him, they stripped him, they whipped him; They shouted abuse and shook him, they knocked him, they mocked him. They plaited him a crown of thorns, and cursed the day that he was born, And laughed the son of God to scorn, they bruised him, refused him. They plaited him a crown of thorns, and cursed the day that he was born, And laughed the son of God to scorn, they bruised him, refused him.

And even his friends mistook him, they left him, bereft him; They failed him, and then forsook him, decoyed him, destroyed him. And even though their hearts were stirred, by all that they had seen and heard, They had not understood a word! decried him, denied him And even though their hearts were stirred, by all that they had seen and heard, They had not understood a word! decried him, denied him

And then to ground they flung him, they nailed him, impaled him; And high on the cross they hung him, defiled him, reviled him, With healing hands spread eagled wide, with broken lips and bleeding side, The son of God was crucified; they stilled him, they killed him. With healing hands spread eagled wide, with broken lips and bleeding side, The son of God was crucified; they stilled him, they killed him.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 715

Knowing my failings, knowing my fears, Seeing my sorrow, drying my tears. Jesus recall me, me re-ordain; You know I love you, use me again. You know I love you, use me again.

I have no secrets unknown to you, No special graces, talents are few; Yet your intention I would fulfil; You know I love you, ask what you will. You know I love you, ask what you will.

For the far future I cannot see, Promise your presence, travel with me; Sunshine or shadows? I cannot tell; You know I love you, all will be well. You know I love you, all will be well.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 96

There's no other name but this name, And no other name will do. There's no other name but Jesus For folk like me and you. For no other name brings pardon And sets everybody free, There's no other name but Jesus For you and me.

Say, is there a name to live by? Is there a name for joy? Is there a name to change men, Their hate and greed destroy? Have we a name for healing? Have we a name for peace? Have we a name for freedom, Deliverance and release?

Say, is there a name for meaning? Is there a name for might? Is there a name for mercy, A name for life and light? Have we a name for laughter? Have we a name for grace? Have we a name for glory Transcending time and space?

Say, is there a name for pardon? Is there a name for power? Is there a name to guide us Each day and every hour? Have we a name for cleansing? Have we a name for care? Have we a name for all men For always, everywhere?
