"Salvation Army Take Your Place"
by
Captain Andrew Clark
(JAC preview excerpt from forthcoming book:
SALVATIONISM OUT LOUD)
O Salvation Army you chose to neglect the
hardship of labour which I have decreed will bring forth fruit
from your womb.
The barrenness of your womb matches the barrenness of your
hearts which heeds not to my holy standard.
I would see you in my presence if it were not for the wall
that offends me, the sin that grieves me.
For the birth I gave you on the streets of this nation has
been despised of you and you desire higher courts that you
might ease your pain.
Like Caesar of old you have taken the knife to the belly
wherein the burden of souls lies and castrated it, spilling
life into death. O that you would sweat and toil and wail and
mourn and pray and work and breathe my presence, for my
presence will be sweet comfort in toil.
O Salvation Army come and find your place in my court through
the alleys and garbage of the hearts of men which you have
healed in your toiling by my grace. Lift up your head and see
the land prepared. Take up your tents from where you have
settled them and pioneer a new place for this is what my plan
is for you.
Arise from exile of ease and labour until the Lord of Lords
shall come in His Glory. Then you shall see me and rejoice for
my hand will be upon you for you have done what is righteous
in my sight.
The Lord has loved you with a covenant love which is unfailing
and with that strength of commitment to you He calls you to
rise that you might be find favour in His sight.
