The Weapon of Prayer (1962)

In that land across the sea, there’s a job for you and me
Though our presence there may not be found
We must stay standing there on the battle line and pray
We must never lay our weapons down
We don’t have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
Many thousand miles away, someone sheds their blood today
With a heart so true and brave, they’ve gone
To a war that’s yours and mine, let us join the battle line
With a weapon that will save our home
We don’t have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
When the planes and tanks and guns have done all that they can do
When the mighty bombs have rained and failed
Still the helpful hand above holds the weapon made of love
And against him none on earth prevail
We don’t have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
