Lyrics

Son of Man! Son of God! You are all that I need, You're my Saviour indeed, it is true. Son of Man! Son of God! I am weak, you are strong, But to you I belong, only you!

Son of Man! Son of God! You're the answer I seek, Human being unique and divine! Son of Man! Son of God! For your Spirit I pray, That your power each day may be mine!

Son of Man! Son of God! Perfect patterns to show How your children may grow and be free. Son of Man! Son of God! Earth and heaven combined, Let your beauty of mind grow in me!

Son of Man! Son of God! With your Spirit comes peace, And our perfect release from our chains. Son of Man! Son of God! 'Sons of God' we shall be When within us your free Spirit reigns!

Lyrics

I'm just a voice crying in the desert, I have no choice, I'm just a voice. I'm just a voice, crying in the desert, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

He's just a voice crying in the desert, He has no choice, he's just a voice. He's just a voice, crying in the desert, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

Every valley shall be filled, Every mountain levelled low Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

Every rock will have to go, Every fence will be removed, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

Make the crooked places straight, Off with pride; away deceit! Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

Your salvation's in his hands, Make a highway for his feet, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

In his fist he has a fan, He'll blow away the chaff, You who hate his coming weep, You love his coming, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

I'm just a voice crying in the desert, I have no choice, I'm just a voice. I'm just a voice, crying in the desert, Get the road ready for my Lord! Get the road ready for my Lord!

Lyrics

Behold the Lamb of God who takes our sin away, For we have often wandered, gone astray. Behold the Lamb of God who takes our sin away, Oh, kneel to worship him and pray.

The message of God's all redeeming grace Is clearly written on his face; Behold the Lamb of God who takes our sin away, Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb of God.

To him we bring our cares, he'll not turn one away, The dark of our despairs transforms today. To him we bring our needs, he every one supplies; The hungry soul he feeds and satisfies.

Lyrics

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, The Spirit of the Lord rests on me, And I have power to do what I'm called to do, For the Spirit of the Lord rests on me.

I proclaim freedom for the captives, And the blind receive their sight, The unchained had their fetters broken, Darkened souls see the light.

I declare healing for the hopeless, Broken hearts are now made whole, It's the time of God's intervention For the sake of man's soul.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, The Spirit of the Lord rests on me, And I have power to do what I'm called to do, For the Spirit of the Lord rests on me.

When the Spirit of the Lord comes upon you, When the Spirit of the Lord rests on you, You'll have power to do what you're called to do, When the Spirit of the Lord rests on you.

You'll proclaim freedom for the captives, And the blind will receive their sight, The unchained will have their fetters broken, Darkened souls will see the light.

You'll declare healing for the hopeless, Broken hearts will be made whole, It's the time of God's intervention For the sake of man's soul.

When the Spirit of the Lord comes upon us, When the Spirit of the Lord rests on us, We'll have power to do what we're called to do, When the Spirit of the Lord rests on us, When the Spirit of the Lord rests on us.

Lyrics

In him I see the man I want to be! The man I ought to be, and the man I'm going to be! In him I see the man I want to be! The man I ought to be, and the man I'm going to be! I want his power, his love, his personality, His likeness stamped indelibly on me! In him I see the man I want to be! The man I ought to be, and the man I'm going to be!

Dissatisfied with what I am, And all that I have been, In Jesus my salvation I have seen! I'm frightened of so many things, Uncertain and unclear, But Jesus shows the way to conquer fear!

Lyrics

Be a gentle judge - you'll be judged someday, Give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, And forgive men's sins, then you'll be forgiven, Amd that's the way to Heaven, Amd that's the way to Heaven, And that's the way to Heaven!

If they slap your face, turn the other cheek, Blessed are the poor, blessed are the meek, If they steal your coat, let them have your shirt, Unselfishness won't hurt, Unselfishness won't hurt, Unselfishness won't hurt!

Never take revenge, you're not God you know, And by all means fast, but don't let it show, In the secret place say your secret prayers, Your father knows and cares, Our father knows and cares, Our father knows and cares!

Let your light shine out, never hide your lamp, He who loves the dark is at best a scamp, You're to be the salt of this tasteless old Earth, And teach the second birth, And teach the second birth, And teach the second birth!

Lyrics

In the quiet of evening at the close of the day, When their thoughts were in silence and it's easy to pray, Then they brought to the healer those who neeeded his care, And they all had an answer to their prayer.

So they brought him the leper with his sores open wide, And they carried the weakest and the worst to his side, And they brought the blind beggar, the layman with his crutch, And they all claimed the healing of his touch.

With their burns and their bruises, with their sores and their wounds, They were brought to the healer, who the remedy knows, And they came with their sorrows, they were sick, they were sad, But the touch of their healer made them glad.

In the quiet of evening at the close of the day, As our thoughts sit in silence and it's easy to pray, We can bring to the healer those in need of his care, And will all have an answer to our prayer.

Lyrics

Who borrows my clothes, who tells all my jokes? Puts salt in my tea, then laughs till he chokes? Who spends all my cash, insults all my friends? Goes off in a huff and won't make amends?

Who loses the game, but never concedes? Who pulls up my plants, and waters the weeds? Who never says thanks, who never says please? Whatever you say, who never agrees?

Who nearly brought me to my knees? My brother! My brother! My brother, brother, brother!

Who spoils all my plans, who can't keep his word? Makes claims for himself, so wild it's absurd! Who else that you know can look in your eye, Swear it's the truth, and tell you a lie?

Insists he must come, refuses to stay. Invite you to dine and leaves you to pay! Who when I sit down has taken the chair? Who gets on my nerves, who gets in my hair?

Who is it drives me to despair? My brother! My brother! My brother, brother, brother!

Man's been hurting his brother, no reason, no rhyme, From the garden of Eden, the dawning of time. You can learn a new lesson each day that you live, But the hardest to learn is to forgive, to forgive.

Lyrics

If you want to follow me, you must leave yourself behind; There's no room for selfish plans of the purely human kind. Your ambitions have to go, my ambitions take their place; I have other plans for you - to embrace, to embrace. Your ambitions have to go, my ambitions take their place; I have other plans for you - to embrace.

I you want to follow me, you must let me change your mind; Put my thoughts into your thoughts, show you all I have designed. And your values will be changed; ugly things with beauty shine; For the eyes through which you see - shall be mine, shall be mine! And your values will be changed; ugly things with beauty shine; For the eyes through which you see - shall be mine!

I you want to follow me, crosses you will have to bear; Willingly, without complaint, face the darkness of despair. What you give you'll always keep; what you try to save you'll lose; Do you want to follow me? - you can choose, you can choose! What you give you'll always keep; what you try to save you'll lose; Do you want to follow me? - you can choose!

Lyrics

To whom else can we go with our wants and woe? To whom else can we go, but you? Who else really cares for our pleas and prayers? Who else really cares but you?

Your words are words of eternal life, Lord, to whom else can we go? With our wants and our woe in this world below, To whom else can we go but you!

To whom else can we go when the wild winds blow? To whom else can we go but you? Who else can bring peace though the storms increase? Who else can bring peace but you?

To whom else can be go who our needs will know? To whom else can we go but you? Who else brings relief to the worst of grief? Who else brings relief but you?

Lyrics

Let the children come to me, that's what he said, Let the children come to me, that's what he said. Let the children come to me, in my kingdom they shall be, Let the children come to me, that's what he said.

And the last shall be the first, that's what he said, And the last shall be the first, that's what he said. And the last shall be the first, all our values be reversed, And the last shall be the first, that's what he said.

Like the children we must be, that's what he said, Like the children we must be, that's what he said. Like the children we must be, in their sweet simplicity, Like the children we must be, that's what he said.

We must all be born again, that's what he said, We must all be born again, that's what he said. We must all be born again, in our hearts, God's Spirit reign, We must all be born again, that's what he said.

That's what he said, that's what he said!

Lyrics

Before you, before you, they shall all get into heaven before you. I know how well you pray, but God's words you disobey, So the worst shall find their way before you. I know how well you pray, but God's words you disobey, So the worst shall find their way before you.

Before you, before you, even harlots get to heaven before you. If they're sorry for their sin, then a pardon they shall win, And they're going to walk in before you. If they're sorry for their sin, then a pardon they shall win, And they're going to walk in before you.

Before you, before you, crooks and criminals now all get in before you. Yes, you have a pious face, but your heart is a disgrace, Sorry sinners get a place before you. Yes, you have a pious face, but your heart is a disgrace, Sorry sinners get a place before you.

Lyrics

God have mercy on a sinner like me, like me. I am unworthy and unclean, But your grace can intervene, God have mercy on a sinner like me, like me.

God have mercy on a sinner like me, like me. For the failures I have seen, And the things I might have been, God have mercy on a sinner like me, like me.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 284 (Chorus Only)

God's not the prisoner of our precious laws, Confined to work in ways we understand; Upon the face of earth his finger draws, Surprising patterns that his heart has planned.

God is Spirit, Holy Spirit, They that worship him must worship him in Spirit. God is Spirit, Holy Spirit, They that worship him must worship him in truth.

God's not the captive of confining creeds, He breaks the bound'ries of the narrow mind; Our finite fancies he by far exceeds, And yet, like any father, he is kind!

God's not restricted by our rigid rules, He smiles at our attempts to chain him fast; Our favoured frame of reference ridicules, The last is first with him, the first is last!

Lyrics

He is not what I thought he was, he is not who he claims to be, He will rise and fall, he's a man that's all, To be young, grow old, to be bought and sold. He's a man, just a man, just an ordinary man. He's a man, son of man, like me.

But he says what I need to hear, he is all I hope he'd be, He has hands like mine, but attached divine, With a human face, with a godly grace, He's a man, son of man, extraordinary man, God inside of a man like me.

He's not what I really need, he is not what I thought he'd be, Made of human stuff, not divine enough, Why he falls asleep, and I've seen him weep, He's a man, just a man, just an ordinary man, He's a man, son of man, like me.

He is God, but is human too, he is what I want to be, He's so good and kind, with a patient mind, Gentle, quick to smile, goes the extra mile, He's a man, son of man, extraordinary man, God inside of a man like me.

Lyrics

Without him, without him, I'd only be me! Without him, without him, you'd only be you! An unmodified man, quite untouched by grace, An imperfect sample of the human race, Something less of man than I need to be - Without him that's you and me!

But with him, but with him, I'm more than me! But with him, but with him, you're more than you! A more lovable man, much more just, more kind, With a healthy spirit and a healthy mind, Something more of a man than we dreamt we'd be - And with him that's you and me!

Lyrics

If you knew, if you only knew, What a plan God's planned for you, If you only knew! But you've closed your mind, will not understand, Fail to recognise what his heart has planned, If you knew, if you only knew, What a plan God's planned for you!

We must recognise God's moment when it comes, In the silence or with trumpets and with drums! Revelation of his will comes to everyone, but still, We must recognise God's moment when it comes.

If you saw, if you only saw, What the future has in store, If you only saw! What you're called to be, you're afraid to be, So you close your eyes and refuse to see; If you saw, if you only saw, What the future has in store!

If you came, if you only came When you heard him call your name, If you only came! You would find his peace and you'd be at rest, Prove throughout your life that he does know best; If you came, if you only came When you heard him call your name!

Lyrics

Drink this wine, break this bread, of my life it is a token. For my blood shall be spilled, and my body shall be broken.

A new covenant is made, between man and God. And the covenant is sealed, with my blood, with my blood.

Lyrics

They beat him and battered him and platted him a crown, They flogged him and flayed him and made him like a clown. The only wise, the undefiled, was ridiculed, refused, reviled. The only wise, the undefiled, was ridiculed, refused, reviled.

They slapped him and whipped him, they spittied him with hate, They crowned him and crushed him and rushed him to his fate. They couldn't bear to see his face festooned with thorns, but full of grace, They couldn't bear to see his face festooned with thorns, but full of grace.

They whipped him and lashed him, they gashed him to the bone, They mocked him and hailed him, they nailed him to his throne. It's finished now, the victim cried, then bowed his bleeding head and died, The son of God, since time began departed as the son of man.

Lyrics

Can I be like him, like Jesus in thought? Selflessly living the way that he taught? Seeking the lost in the way that he sought? Touched by his Spirit, I can!

Touched by his Spirit, like him I can be, His Holy Spirit can sanctify me, I'll make my living conform to his plan, Touched by his Spirit, I can!

Can I be like him, like Jesus indeed? Breaking my bread that the hungry might feed? Making compassion my principal creed? Touched by his Spirit, I can!

Can I be like him, like Jesus my Lord? Serve without seeking the smallest reward? Every temptation ignored, ignored? Touched by his Spirit, I can!

Lyrics

Spirit of Jesus, guest of the soul, Transforming Spirit, making us whole, Come to your servant, so all may see Something of Jesus, Jesus in me.

Spirit of Jesus, Spirit divine, All I surrender, nothing is mine, Empty my nature, so there can be Something of Jesus, Jesus in me.

Spirit of Jesus, this is the hour, Mine the obedience, yours is the power, I am your temple, now there shall be Something of Jesus, Jesus in me.
