"I Am on the Battlefield for My LORD"
Chorus
I am on the battlefield for my LORD.
I am on the battlefield for my LORD.
And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die.
I am on the battlefield for my LORD!
Verse 1
I was alone and idle
I was a sinner too
I heard the voice of Heaven
Say, “There is work to do.”
I took my Master’s Hand,
And I joined the Christian band.
I am on the battlefield for my LORD.
Verse 2
I left my friends and kindred
Bound for the Promised Land.
The grace of GOD upon me,
The Bible in my hand.
In distant lands I trod
Crying, “Sinner come to GOD.”
I am on the battlefield for my LORD.
Verse 3
Now when I met my SAVIOR
I met Him with with a smile
He healed my wounded spirit,
And owned me as His child.
Around the throne of grace,
He appoints my soul a place.
I am on the battlefield for my LORD!”
