Lyrics On The Battlefield - Nina Hagen

On The Battlefield

I am on the battlefield
For my Lord I’m working
Yes I am on the battlefield
I’m working for my Lord,
And I promised Him
That I would serve Him till I die;
Yes I am on the battlefield for my Lord.
I was alone and I was idle,
I was a sinner too.
I heard a voice from heaven
telling that there is work to do.
I took my Master’s hand,
and I joined the Christian band;
Yes I am on the battlefield for my Lord, yes I am
I left my friends and kindred
bound for the Promised Land,
The grace of God upon me,
the Holy Bible in my hand
In distant lands I trod,
crying sinners come back home to God;
Yes I am on the battlefield for my Lord.
I am on the battlefield
For my Lord I’m working
I am on the battlefield
I’m working for my Lord.
Yes I promised Him
That I would serve Him till I die;
I promised the Lord
Yes I promised the Lord
That I would serve Him till I die;
I promised the Lord
