Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 421

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in his grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Saviour's side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin And be washed in the blood of the Lamb; There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean, O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Lyrics

I just know! I just know it's time to go! I just know it's time to go to Heaven! It's today! And I must be on my way, Yes, I must be on my way to Heaven!

Just take my word, my soul is stirred, And in my heart the call I've heard, I can't explain, but it's quite plain, The herald angel calls my name! Why should I fear or shed a tear? The beckoning trumpet call I hear; You know it's true, you hear it too, Let's go together, me and you!

Lyrics

I never thought I'd ever get to Heaven, Fancy me! (Fancy her! Fancy that!) But I've gone and got me bloomin' sins forgiven! Fancy me! (Fancy her! Fancy that!) I know what it's like to walk your beat, And wiggle at every man you meet! But soon I'll walk the golden street, Fancy me! (Fancy her! Fancy that!)

I know what I did wasn't right, Ellen, I just sold my body for bread. And often I dreaded the night, Ellen, And sometimes I wished I was dead. I lay in the gutter one day, Ellen, And of these girls fished me out. If she hadn't cared about me, Ellen, I'd done for myself without doubt.

She'd something of Christ in her face, Ellen, And Jesus looked out of her eyes, She brought me to life and to grace, Ellen, And now I'm a walking surprise! When Jesus calls me from the crowd, Ellen, I know what my answer will be, I'll laugh and I'll shout it out aloud: The blood of the Lamb cleanses me!

When Jesus calls me from the crowd, Ellen, I know what my answer will be, I'll laugh and I'll shout it out aloud: The blood of the Lamb cleanses me!

Hallelujah, I'm washed in the blood! In the blood of Lamb, hallelujah! In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb! It's the blood of the Lamb that cleanses me! Hallelujah, my garments are spotless, They are white as snow! Hallelujah, I'm washed in the Blood! It's the blood of the Lamb that cleanses me!

Lyrics

Walking lepers followed rank on rank. Unclean! Unclean! Leper! Leper! Leper! Leper! Leper! Leper! Leper! Leper!

Walking lepers followed rank on rank, Stinking lepers, how those lepers stank! With their sores wide open, with their boils and styes, With the sunken faces, and their leering eyes, With their broken fingers, and their stunted toes, How they get to heaven, only heaven knows! Unclean! Unclean! Unclean!

Are you washed? Washed? Washed? Washed? Are you washed? Washed? Washed? Washed? Are you washed in the blood, in the deep red blood, In the Christ-shed blood of the Lamb, the Lamb? Are you washed in the blood, in the deep red blood, In the Christ-shed blood of the Lamb, the Lamb? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lyrics

Drabs from the alleyways and drug fiends pale. A ha! A ha! Minds still passion-ridden, soul-powers frail. A ha! A ha! Drink-sodden, down-trodden mis-gotten men. Where's the hope for the likes of them?

Fuddled in thinking, muddled in thought, Brutish bargain by the devil brought. Foul to look upon, and foul of breath, Walking witnesses to living death. A ha! A ha! A ha!

Are you washed? Washed? Washed? Washed? Are you washed? Washed? Washed? Washed? Are you washed in the blood, in the deep red blood, In the Christ-shed blood of the Lamb, the Lamb? Are you washed in the blood, in the deep red blood, In the Christ-shed blood of the Lamb, the Lamb? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lyrics

We will not brag of battles won, And sudden saints we'll never be, But in the power of Jesus' name We claim a daily victory.

Moment by moment and day after day, Claiming his grace, we shall walk in his way, 'Till at the last we shall hear Jesus say: "Victory is won! Servant, well done!"

Nothing of worth is quickly gained, And without tears no prize is won, If Heaven seems a world away, At least the journey is begun.

We often fail, and sometimes fall, But Christ is gentle with the weak, And pardon may be found by all, However frequently they seek.

Lyrics

Bill Booth's Army came to life on Mile End Waste, Bill built an Army with a kind of holy haste, Bill Booth's Army shall not ever be disgraced While it preaches the blood of the Lamb, Bill Booth's Army shall not ever be disgraced While it preaches the blood of the Lamb.

Oh, Bill Booth's Army brought a million men to grace, Bill Booth's Army will have bigger fights to face, Bill Booth's Army will be sure to have a place While it speaks of the blood of the Lamb, Bill Booth's Army will be sure to have a place While it speaks of the blood of the Lamb.

Bill Booth's Army is the proof that Jesus cares, By Booth's Army, God has answered many prayers, Bill Booth's Army has God's blessing while it dares To rely on the blood of the Lamb, Bill Booth's Army has God's blessing while it dares To rely on the blood of the Lamb.

La la la la...

Oh, the things that he tried, oh, the tears that he cried, Bill the devil defied to his face! But God blessed Billy's crew, and the Army he grew God has made it a channel of grace. While the Army he made and the prayers that he prayed And the price that he paid was his own, Yet the thought was sublime, the idea was divine, It was born of the Spirit alone! It was born of the Spirit alone!

Lyrics

The General lit a light in Darkest England, He heard the little children when they cried; The light the General lit in Darkest England, They never could put out although they tried!

So strike a light for Darkest England, Stab its conscience wide awake, For still it's dark in Darkest England, Strike a light for Jesus' sake.

The General loved the working class of England, The poor he made his extra special care; He fought for all the underdogs in England, The General was the answer to their prayer!

The General had a dream for Darkest England, He dreamt of better health and houses too, He dreamt of better homes and better people, We've got to make the General's dream come true!

Lyrics

If the Son has made us free, then we are free indeed! None dare condemn the man whom Jesus Christ has freed, The pardon he provides is all that sinners need; If the Son has made us free, we're free indeed! Yes, free indeed!

If the Son has made us free, then we are free indeed! The thirsty soul he'll satisfy, the hungry feed, And all receive his mercy who for mercy plead; If the Son has made us free, we're free indeed! Yes, free indeed!

If the Son has made us free, then we are free indeed! For life is found by those who let their Saviour lead, We want no other dogma and no other creed; If the Son has made us free, we're free indeed! Yes, free indeed!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 1023 (Chorus Only)

There is a flag that flies for freedom, A flag that flies for liberty, Let's march beneath its floating colours, Share its victory. It calls the people of all nations To find salvation full and free, I love its message and its meaning, It's the flag for me!

There's only one flag for me! There's only one flag for me! I'm going to march beneath the yellow, red and blue, To its precious principles be true. There's only one flag for me! There's only one flag for me! It speaks of power, pardon, peace and purity, There's only one flag for me!

There is a flag that calls to service, The flag of yellow, red and blue; It calls to men of deep compassion And of courage too. Will you enlist beneath its colours And dedicate yourself anew? Beneath the flag of selfless service There's a place for you!

Lyrics

I'll make my promises, I'll pray my prayer, Feeling you near to me, knowing you care, Since you will walk with me, come then what may, I'll keep the promises I make today.

Lord, I would give to you so many things, All that is mine today, all that the future brings; Gladly I make the gift, it's yours to take, But give to me your grace, for Jesus' sake.

I want to promise you the faithful years, Unbroken fellowship, even in time of tears; My faithfulness to you depends, I see, Upon the daily strength you've promised me.

And if I should forget the prayer I've prayed, Go back upon my word, and wish my vows unmade, Your faithfulness to me will call me back, Your love provides the grace I lack.

Lyrics

It's not enough to say it - you must sing it, you must shout it! If you've really got religion, you must tell the world about it! If God has gotten to you, and your heart's as white as snow, Don't keep the secret to yourself, let everybody know!

You've got to demonstrate, You've got to shout aloud, You've got to get the message to the crowd. Let's have a thousand trumpets And a thousand drums, And let's be fools for Jesus until Jesus comes!

It's not enough to say it - you must write it, you must roar it! For what's the use of goodness if you bottle it and store it? Let's get out on the street, invade the tavern and the dive, Tell men there is a Saviour and that Saviour is alive!

Take the biggest hoarding, hire the biggest hall, Wave the biggest banner, sound the trumpet call, Use the brightest music, call the bravest men, Make the worst take notice that God cares for them!

Lyrics

The hoodlum and the hooker and the hobo Are gonna feel at home in heaven.

The drug addict and the drunkard and the dropout Are gonna get their sins forgiven.

The man who knows his need and will admit it Will find God has the remedy to fix it.

The hoodlum and the hooker and the hobo Are gonna walk the streets of gold.

The hoodlum and the hooker and the hobo Are gonna walk the streets of gold.

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 1011

They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God; Both the rich and the poor, the despised, the distressed, They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God. And none will ask what they have been Provided that their robes are clean; They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God; To be met by their Father and welcomed and blessed, And sit down in the Kingdom of God. The black, the white, the dark, the fair, Your colour will not matter there; They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God; Out of great tribulation to triumph and rest They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God. From every tribe and every race, All men as brothers shall embrace; They shall come from the east, they shall come from the west, And sit down in the Kingdom of God.

Lyrics

Who are these people that are dressed in white, Shining forever in their robes of light; Rainbowed and glistening and sparkling bright, Calm in the presence of God?

These are the people who have come by grace Through tribulation to behold his face, Out of all nations and out of every race, Calm in the presence of God.

And now there is no more sorrow, and tears have all been dried, And man's unending seeking for love is satisfied. Here pain can never enter, and fear is quite unknown, Here love shall reign for ever, for God is on the throne.
