Working For The Lord |
The Bible is our weapon the amunition’s inside I’m told |
Let’s go fight on Jesus side he hasn’t lost one soul |
Let’s join his band of soldiers cause they don’t live by sword |
We’ll be fightin' for our countrymen but we’ll be workin' for the Lord |
Sixteen years ago today I gave birth to a little boy |
And of all the worries I’ve had for him ev’ry minute has been a joy |
And when they laid him in my arms on that twenty-seventh day of May |
I looked down at his tiny little face and you should have heard me pray |
Oh dear God you’ve blessed me with more than I deserve |
And someday God when he grows up it’s you I pray he’ll serve |
Now all his friends have gathered around to help him celebrate |
He just blew out the candles and has begin to cut the cake |
They’re laughin' and they’re talkin' of what they’re gonna do and be some day |
And when they get a little older they’re gonna go fight for their country |
But I couldn’t help but overhear what my son had to say |
And there’s not one doubt in my mind that my prayer paid off today |
We’ll be fightin' for our countrymen but we’ll be workin' for the Lord |
