Lyrics

You've got to stay! (we've got to stay, stay!) Don't go away! (we've got to stay, stay!) Just now you're kind of numb and sort of wearisome, The Spirit's going to come, hear what I say: You've got to stay! (we've got to stay, stay!) Don't go away! (we've got to stay, stay!) (Just now we're kind of numb and sort of wearisome, The Spirit's going to come, we've got to stay!)

And you've got to pray, you've got to pray. You've got to pray, pray, pray. You've got to pray, you've got to pray. You've got to pray, pray, pray.

(We've got to pray, we've got to pray. We've got to pray, pray, pray. We've got to pray, we've got to pray. We've got to pray, pray, pray.)

You've got to stay! (we've got to stay, stay!) Don't go away! (we've got to stay, stay!) No need to look so glum, don't leave Jerusalem, The Spirit's going to come, hear what I say: You've got to stay! (we've got to stay, stay!) Don't go away! (we've got to stay, stay!) (No need to look so glum, don't leave Jerusalem, The Spirit's going to come, we've got to stay!)

Ask! Ask! Ask! and it shall be given; Seek! Seek! Seek! and you're sure to find; Knock! Knock! Knock! and the door will open, For God! God! God! is so good and kind, O yes, So ask! Ask! Ask! and it shall be given; Seek! Seek! Seek! and you're sure to find; Knock! Knock! Knock! and the door will open, For God! God! God! is so good and kind.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 317

Burning, burning, brightly burning, Brightly burning fire divine, Satisfy my spirit's yearning. Fill this empty soul of mine.

Burning, burning, always burning, Holy Spirit, stay with me; To your will my will is turning, What you will I want to be.

Burning, burning, deeply burning, Deeply burning holy fire, Now, your perfect plan discerning, Your design is my desire.

Burning, burning, gently burning, Gently burning fire within, From your love my love is learning, Now I feel your work begin.

Lyrics

In me! I can feel it in me, A pow'r I cannot subdue! In me! I can feel it in me, And I think you feel it in you! It sets my feet tapping, It sets my hands clapping, It's needed, it's noble, it's new! In me! Yes, I can feel it in me, And I think you're feeling it too!

In my hands, my head, in my heart as well, There's a difference, folks, you can surely tell! And it's in my eyes, and it's on my tongue, And I kind of feel like a spring that's sprung, Or a bell that's rung, or a swing that's swung, Or a song that's sung for ever!

Lyrics

There's a universal language every man can understand, A spectacular vernacular for this and every land, You can whisper it in secret, shout it from the skies above, It's the universal language of the Spirit!

The language of love! The language of love! The language of love! The language of love!

It's intoned in Hindustani, and it's drawled out in the States, From the last lip of Long Island right to 'Frisco's Golden Gates, And they murmur it in Melbourne like the cooing of a dove, It's the universal language of the Spirit!

It is heard in far off China, in Karachi and Kuwait, In Alaska and Nebraska, Canning Town and Harrogate, Understood in Madagascar where the skies are blue above, It's the universal language of the Spirit!

Now the favourite word is 'kindness', and the well-known verb 'to care' Is beloved by all, both great and small, they use it everywhere. And the climate does not matter, under freezing or above, It's the universal language of the Spirit!

Lyrics

There's a time to get, there's a time to give, Though by nature man is acquisitive; There's a time to hoard, but I declare That the time has come to share, share, share.

If you have two skirts, then give one away, If you have two shirts, do the same, I say; For your brother's need is your affair, And the time has come to share, share, share.

If we'd only learn to care about each other, What a better world this world would be, If we'd only call the other man our brother, What a difference we would surely see!

There would never be a single lonely person, There would never be a hungry child to feed, There's enough and there's to spare If we'd only learn to share, Yes, to learn to share is what we need!

It's a hungry world and it need not be, If the wealthy world had the eyes to see; There's enough for all if men would dare Let the Spirit lead and share, share, share.

There's enough for all if men would dare Let the Spirit lead and share, share, share.

Lyrics

For Jesus' sake, for Jesus' sake, What will I do for Jesus' sake? I'll wear a cross, I'll bear a cross For Jesus' sake, for Jesus' sake, Not for myself, not for the sake of any man, Myself, not him, will I deny, I'll come, I'll go, I'll live, I'll die, For Jesus' sake, for Jesus' sake, I'll come, I'll go, I'll live, I'll die, For Jesus' sake.

Lyrics

Now as many as are moved by the Spirit of God Are the sons of God, yes, the sons of God, So if you and me are moved by the Spirit of God, Then we can call him Father! We never received the spirit of fear, The spirit of freedom rather! So if you and me are moved by the Spirit of God, Then we can call him Father!

Our Father, heavenly Father, Hallowed be your name, May your Kingdom come and your will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven; Our Father, heavenly Father, Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us the wrong which we have done, As we forgive those who wrong us; Father, shield from temptation; Father, save us from evil; For yours is the Kingdom, the pow'r and the glory, For ever and ever, Amen! For yours is the Kingdom, the pow'r and the glory, For ever and ever, Amen!

Father, heavenly Father, Heavenly Father!

Lyrics

You can't make a fool of God, my friend, You'll reap just what you sow, You sow bad things, you'll reap bad things, I'm telling you! I know!

I've seen them bad things grow grow grow, Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow! I've seen them bad things grow, I'm telling you! I know!

There's greed, there's envy and there's pride, There's gloom that leads to suicide, There's temper and there's cruelty, Just sow the seed and wait and see!

You can't make a fool of God, my friend, You'll reap just what you sow, You sow good things, you'll reap good things, I'm telling you! I know!

I've seen them good things grow grow grow, Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow! I've seen them good things grow, I'm telling you! I know!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 305

Now the fruit of the Spirit is patience, And the fruit of the Spirit is peace, The fruit of the Spirit is gentleness And joy that will never cease. The gift of the Spirit is healing, And hope for the darkest hour, The gift of the Spirit is love, yes, love And power, and power.

Lyrics

Gone, did you say? I don't believe you! Where have they gone, I'd like to know! Don't understand, just can't explain it, Must have gone out incognito!

It's a disgrace, I'll have your head, man! None of your guards is worth his salt! Don't get so mad, I did my best, sir, I locked them up, it's not my fault!

There's no excuse, you had your orders! I locked 'em up, I told you so! You locked them up? You thought you did, fool! I locked 'em up, I told you so!

I know, I know, hello!

They're in the temple preaching their heads off, I saw 'em all as large as life. You go and get them, you continue, Tell me the truth or feel the knife!

They were all there, with no exception, Probably bribed the guard, I'd say; Ought To be shot, those lousy soldiers, Cut off their heads, or cut their pay!

They're in the temple preaching their heads off, I saw 'em all as large as life. Don't understand, just can't explain it, Must have got out incognito.

They were all there, with no exception, Probably bribed the guard, I'd say; Ought To be shot, those lousy soldiers, Cut off their heads, or cut their pay!

Lyrics

We will listen to the Spirit speaking, And the Spirit of the Lord obey, We will listen to the Spirit speaking, Whatsoever men may do or say! We don't want to know the why and wherefore, We don't need to know the where and when, For the wisdom of the Lord is wiser Than the wisdom of the wisest men!

Lyrics

Be careful what you do, and be careful what you say, my friends, Just think the matter through, or you'll live to rue the day, my friends. Do you think my foolish brothers, you can treat them like the others? Though their manners fail to please us, there's no doubt they've been with Jesus, In your rage you judge them blindly, my advice is treat them kindly, my friends, my friends my friends!

Be careful how you act, think again and then decide, my friends, Why not try a little tact? Time is always on your side, my friends. If these men have all been dreaming, or been plotting or been scheming, Then in spite of all their frothing, what they say will come to nothing, Damning them may seem exciting, but it could be God you're fighting, my friends, my friends, my friends!

Perhaps the fella's right, what he's saying could be so, I'd say; Let's have a a show of hands, shall we let the beggars go? OK? But an end to all your preaching, no more talk and no more teaching, If you're wanting to appease us, cut this calling upon Jesus, You must stop this synagogueing, give the silly fools a flogging, my friends, ha, friends!

Oh, flog them!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 319

For the mighty moving of thy Spirit In our hearts and minds from day to day, For the gentle soothing of thy Spirit When our fears had filled us with dismay:

We adore thee, heavenly Father, And we thank thee, heavenly Father, And we praise thee, heavenly Father, As we pray, as we pray.

For the kindly chiding of thy Spirit When we thought to find an easier way, For the gracious guiding of thy Spirit And the strength we needed to obey:

For the tender stirring of thy Spirit Who recalled us when we went astray, The persistent spurring of thy Spirit When we hesitated on the way:

Lyrics

I was in my bed and counting sheep, (that's how it was!) I was in my bed and fast asleep, (that's how it was!) I was hungry too, and I'd a dream, I dreamt of cakes with lots of cream. That's how it was! (That's how it was!)

The heavens split before my eyes, a sheet came down to my surprise, And on this sheet was laid a feast of every kind of bird and beast, Of things that walk and things that, fly of things that crawl I tell no lie The sheet was laid down at my feet, all things I'm not supposed to eat (that's how it was!).

And the voice of God came loud and clear, (that's how it was!) 'Peter, help yourself to all this here'. (that's how it was!) And I said to God, all kind of proud, 'this foreign food is not allowed', That's how it was! (That's how it was!)

I replied just like a pharisee, (that's how it was!) All this foreign food is not for me, (that's how it was!) But the Lord's reply I understood, 'don't you call bad what I call good,' That's how it was! (That's how it was!)

The heavens split before my eyes, a sheet came down to my surprise, And on this sheet was laid a feast of every kind of bird and beast, Three times the dream came back to me, it was as clear as clear could be, I heard the voice, I saw the food, 'don't you call bad what I call good!'

When the dream has gone some men came near, (that's how it was!) And they took me off to Caesarea, (that's how it was!) They'd a service there, these foreign folk, they asked me, so I rose and spoke, That's how it was! (That's how it was!)

The dream I had came back to me, these foreigners attracted me, I'd been wrong in my attitude, no kind of man will God exclude. The message of my vision is: the nations of the world are his! The word of God I understand, who dares called bad what he calls good?

So I preached the word to that great crowd, (that's how it was!) They were moved to tears, they wept aloud, (that's how it was!) Who dares rebuke? Who dares condemn? The Holy Spirit came to them! Who dares rebuke? Who dares condemn? The Holy Spirit came to them! That's how it was! (That's how it was!)

Lyrics

I would rather have stayed in Samaria, I was having a wonderful time, The lame man walked, the dumb man talked, The criminal gave up crime! But I'd promised the Holy Spirit I'd go where the Spirit sent, And I felt I should go to Gaza; The Spirit said 'go', the Spirit said 'go', The Spirit said 'go' - so I went!

On the way I bumped into this chariot With this big black East African bloke, He looked a toff, his helmet off, His glistening diamond cloak; But I'd promised the Holy Spirit I'd do as the Spirit bid, And I felt I should stop this stranger; The Spirit said 'do', the Spirit said 'do', The Spirit said 'do' - so I did!

He was reading about the Lord Jesus, But he couldn't make sense of a word; Without delay, I preached the way, With hungering heart he heard; And he wanted to be a Christian, And do as the Spirit bid, And I felt that I should baptise him; The Spirit said 'do', the Spirit said 'do', The Spirit said 'do' - so I did!

If you want to be filled with the Spirit You must let him have all his own way; He'll send you out, without a doubt, His challenging voice obey. Do you promise the Holy Spirit You never will answer 'no'? Will you go where the Spirit guides you? If the Spirit says 'go', if the Spirit says 'go', If the Spirit says 'go' - you must go!

If the Spirit says 'go' to you, Then you must go!

Lyrics

And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen, The salvation of the Lord, inspiration of the Lord. And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen. And the power of the Lord was his!

And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen, The ordaining of the Lord, the constraining of the Lord. And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen. And the power of the Lord was his!

And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen, The direction of the Lord, the protection of the Lord. And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen. And the power of the Lord was his!

And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen, The conviction of the Lord, benediction of the Lord. And the Spirit of the Lord fell on Stephen. And the power of the Lord was his!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 328 (Chorus Only)

Ambitions clamour to control my mind, And pleasing prospects I see, But first and foremost in my heart I find A nobler purpose for me:

To be like Jesus! This hope possesses me, In every thought and deed, This is my aim, my creed; To be like Jesus! This hope possesses me, His Spirit helping me, Like him I'll be.

In every field of life I have high hopes, And for achievement aspire, But this ambition holds the highest place, And burns within me like fire:

Whatever I may lose, I mean to win Some faint resemblance to Christ. For this alone I'll work, for this I'll pray, All other aims sacrifice:

Lyrics

He has the grace of an angel, He has the face of an angel, He has the heart of an angel too, Everything about him rings true.

He's as serene as an angel, He's always been like an angel, Always being gentle and good, And done what an angel would

Lyrics

Here is a man we can depend on, Here is a man with nerves of steel, Here is a man to crush the Christians, Bring every heretic to heel!

Quite out of hand and spreading quickly, They must be stopped and stopped for good. You can rely on me to stop them, Stain all Damascus with their blood!

Here is my seal. 'My lord, your servant.' Go in my name. 'I'll go with joy!' Take from my tongue the taste of Christians, 'All that is Christian I'll destroy!

Damascus, Damascus, let's go now to Damascus, No place like Damascus, so they say! The skies are blue, the streets are wide, With pretty girls on every side, And Christians to be crucified! Damascus, Damascus, let's go now to Damascus, No place like Damascus, so they say!

Diverting to Damascus. Hooray! Hooray! There's flirting in Damascus. Hooray! Hooray! The liquor there is extra strong, There's wine, there's women and there's song, And Christians too, but not for long!

There's money in Damascus. Hooray! Hooray! It's funny in Damascus. Hooray! Hooray! But best of all, or so I'm told, The Christians there are made of gold, We must make sure they don't grow old!

Lyrics

The shadows close me round, Make dark the brightest day, I cannot see my road, I cannot know the way, But every step I take in blind humility, Brings me to God himself, Brings God to me.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 329

Who is it tells me what to do And helps me to obey? Who is it plans the route for me And will not let me stray? Who is it tells me when to speak And what I ought to say? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me!

That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me! That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me!

Who is it gives me heavy loads And helps me take the strain? Who is it calls to sacrifice And helps me bear the pain? Who is it sees me when I fall And lifts me up again? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me!

Who is it shows me what to be And leads me to that goal? Who is it claims the heart of me And wants to take control? Who is it calls to holiness Of body, mind and soul? That's the Spirit! Holy Spirit! That's the Spirit of the Lord in me!

Lyrics

I can see a future, a long long future, I can see a future God's planned for you; There's grief and there's glory, but God's in the story, The story he wants to come true.

I can see a future, a long long future, I can see a future God's planned for you; Believe and obey him, and never betray him, And you'll make the story come true!

There will be hardship and there'll be pain, There'll be exposure to wind and rain, Dark is the road you are called to tread, You'll be broken and left for dead. But God will guard you and bring you through, You will accomplish his plan for you, Helping and healing and winning men to God, Again to their God again!

I can see a future, a long long future, I can see a future God's planned for you; Believe and obey him, and never betray him, And you'll make the story come true!

Lyrics

If I could understand the hidden mysteries of life, If I could know the secrets all men seek, If I could know the reason why the world is what it is, Why every human being is unique...

Unless I knew the love of God, the all-embracing love of God, Unless I knew the love of God, I would know nothing, I would know nothing!

If I could hold the wealth of all the world within my hands, Possess the priceless treasures of the earth, If all the precious things that men have prized belonged to me, And lovely things of unimagined worth...

Unless I had the love of God, the all-embracing love of God, Unless I had the love of God, I would have nothing, I would have nothing!

If I should spend my strength to build a better world than this, And spoke of brotherhood with every breath, If I should give my goods to feed the children of the poor, And for my faith would die a martyr's death...

Unless I give the love of God, the all-embracing love of God, Unless I give the love of God, I would give nothing, I would give nothing!

But I will give the love of God, the all-embracing love of God, But I give the love of God, love cannot fail, love cannot fail, But I will give the love of God, the all-embracing love of God, But I give the love of God, love cannot, love cannot, love cannot fail!

Lyrics

What does the Spirit say to the churches? What does the Spirit say to you? If you have ears, then hear from the Spirit, Do what the Spirit tells you to!

You love me less than you used to love me, I know your strengths and your weakness too; Love me again as you used to love me, Do once again as you used to do.

You have a wonderful reputation, Far and away how your fame has spread! True, you are always so very busy, No one would guess that in fact you're dead!

You are so proud and suppose you're clever, I know you're neither cold nor hot! Lukewarm! That's you and it makes you useless, You think you're rich, but you're not! You're not!

You are afraid of the Spirit's leading, I set before you an open door, No man can shut what the Spirit opens, What in the world are you waiting for?
