Although sometimes doctrinally we are so far apart
We are divided on tongues and things of the Spirit
But when it comes to salvation there isn’t much in it.
Yes salvation’s a topic on which we’ll agree
We can talk of a saviour who died men to free
The Lord of all Glory came down from above
To bathe this whole world in a blanket of love
Whatever our creed we want all men to know
Of the lone Son of God and how he stooped low
To raise fallen man from the clutches of sin
Lift him out of the mess his life has been in
O preach it my brother, I’ll stand with you too
As you tell lost mankind that old story so true
As the message goes out and the preacher is ready
To draw in the net with a hand skilled and ready
Now I see that hand; O thank you my friend
You’ll start a new life that never will end
Another hand there now do I make it three
Just think about Jesus who’ll soon set you free
It’s a good night tonight for the fishers of men
As the hands keep going up I think now that’s ten
This is harvest time now it has risen to a score
Pentecostals, Evangelicals? It don’t matter no more
I look back through time and wonder the way
Jesus counted the converts that followed him each day
Did he ask them to show it by the raising a hand
Or walk to the front as they listened on the sand
Sometimes I just wonder if we P’s and the E’s
Are not rather zealous our master to please
You are not born again as you didn’t raise your hand
Nor kneel at the alter or at the front stand
Simple folk of that day who followed the Lord
Believed in their heart and began living his word
I wonder if in all the paraphernalia we do
We hinder the common man from filling a pew
Today there are good folk who live much like us
Of salvation however they don’t make a fuss
They attend church on Sunday the same as we do
And really there’s little difference all the week through
But we’ve seen the Light; yes we raised our hand
On the 16th of March at the front we did stand
But I question; I wonder; if all we P’s and E’s
Exclude folk whose good works is sure Jesus to please!
