Army Of The Lord

(album: Sings Spirituals - 1960)

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

Well, I've got a mother, in the promised land
Not gonna stop, till I shake her righteous hand
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus got the power, for the right and the wrong
Keep on walking, up the narrow way
One of these days, you're gonna hear me say

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
Yes, I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

Well, I've been to the river, been baptized
Soul is anchored in Jesus, feel alright
You can believe, I've been redeemed
Come and go with with me brother, to the ...

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
I am working for my Lord (in the army of the Lord)
I am working for my Lord (in the army)


I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)

Well, I went in the valley, didn't go to stay
Truth got me happy brother, way down deep
My hand got stuck, to the gospel plow
I wouldn't take nothing, for my journey right now

I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
I am fighting for my Lord (in the army of the Lord)
I am fighting for my Lord (in the army)

Hey, I'm a soldier (in the army of the Lord)
I'm a soldier (in the army)
