I am on the battlefield for my Lord
Oh working
Yes, I am on the battlefield
I'm working for my Lord
And I promised him that I ...
Would serve him till I die
Yes, I am on the battlefield for my Lord

I was alone and I was idle
I was a sinner, too ...
I heard a voice from heaven
Telling me that there is work to do

And I took my master's hand
And I joined the Christian band
Yes, I am on the battlefield for my Lord
(Yes I am)

I left my friends and kindred
Bound for the Promised Land
The grace of God upon me
The Holy Bible in my hand
In the distant lands
I trod:
Crying out, "sinners! Come back home to God!"
Yes, I am on the battlefield for my Lord ...

I am on the battlefield for my Lord
I'm-ah-working
I am on the battlefield
I'm working for my Lord

'Cause I promised him that I ...
Would serve him till I die

I promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)

YI promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)
I've saved for Him until I die
I promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)
I promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)
I promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)
I promised the Lord
(I promised the Lord)
I promised
I promised
I promised my Lord
I promised the Lord
