Salvation Songs Lyrics

Long, long ago

Feels like yesterday

A little child watched

As dad sat down to play

They pulled the old piano

To the middle of the room

Friends and neighbours calling

For their favourite tune

So long ago

Stretching out our bedtime

Being good as we could be

With my sister and my brother

I'd try to sing the harmony

Cross-legged on the carpet

Where the old piano boomed

I watched him flex his fingers

Lift his head and fill the room

With a voice so clear

A voice so strong

O how we'd sing

Those old salvation songs

It was the old, old story of Calvary

And we're still singing, singing

The harmony

Then he was a young man

Now I, his child, am grey

The old piano's long been silent

But I hear his song today

A sure and certain hope

The cleansing blood, the empty grave

When he wakes to flex new fingers

Lift his head and start to play

With a voice so clear

A voice so strong

With heaven and earth

In one salvation song

Of the old, old story of Calvary

And we're still singing, singing

The harmony

With a voice so clear

A voice so strong

O how we'd sing

Those old salvation songs

It was the old, old story of Calvary

And we're still singing, singing

It was long ago

But not so far away

And we're still singing, singing

We're still singing

The harmony
