Working For The Lord

(专辑： God Bless America Again - 1972)

(We'll be fighting for our countrymen but we'll be 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 fighting for our countrymen but we'll be working 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 laughing and they're talking 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 fighting for our countrymen but we'll be working for the Lord
