lyrics

When you know a pretty story
You don't let it go unsaid
You tell it to your children
As you tuck them into bed
And when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friend
Tell them that a lifetime filled with Jesus
Is like a street that never ends

Alright, you sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
You sing that sweet sweet song of salvation woo hoo
And tell the people everywhere
You sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
To every man, every nation
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares

Now look around you as you sing it
There are people everywhere
And to those who stop to listen
Your sweet song becomes their prayer
'Cause when you know a wonderful secret
You tell it to your friends
Go on and tell them that a lifetime filled with you know who
Is like a street that never ends

Alright it's your turn, sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let your laughter fill the air
You sing that [sweet sweet song of salvation] That's right
Tell the people everywhere
You sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
To every man in the United Nations
Sing that sweet sweet song of salvation
And let the people know that Jesus cares

You've got to let the people know that Jesus cares
He really does, you know he died for all of us to set us free from sin
Open up your life and let him in, he really cares, he really does
Sing it here, be part of something big
Even when you're by yourself you're part of something bigger
Don't look at this situation here today
Don't flip out, it's not the best thing you're ever gonna be part of
Not the biggest thing you're ever gonna do
I'm not talking religion, I'm talking 'bout Jesus
Let the people know that Jesus cares
You let the people know that Jesus cares ah ha ha ha
Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is the big build up
Woo-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ah-ow
Ah-hu-ugh, ah-hu-wuh
This is to let you know it's rock and roll
Yeah awlright, ye-uh
Ow ow ow owm-ow

Between The Glory & The Flame
by Randy Stonehill

supported by 11 fans who also own “Sweet Song Of Salvation”

This album is all about the human condition and our very human, fallible relationship with the world around us, as well as our ever so tense imperfect relationship with a God who the world has turned into a politicized parody of himself. "We are madmen and we are children with a lesson to be learned/we are sitting in the ashes of the bridges we have burned/we are hoping and we are praying, we are holding to the claim that he's coming back to meet us between the glory and the flame" sums it up falling_stars
