I am on the battlefield for my Lord,
I'm 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.
1 I was alone and idle,
I was a sinner too,
I heard a voice from heaven
Say there is work to do,
I took the Master's hand,
And I joined the Christian band,
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]
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'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain]
3 Now when I met my Savior,
I met Him 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'm on the battlefield for my Lord. [Refrain] Scripture: Numbers 32:27 Used With Tune: BATTLEFIELD
