Refrain:
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'm 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]
