Once I was in the lowlands And I was just like you I heard a voice from heaven saying "Arise, there's work to do" So I offered God this hand And I joined His heavenly band I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I am on the battlefield for my Lord I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I promised the Lord that I will serve Him till I die I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I left my friends and kindred Down (unintelligible) land The grace of God was in my soul The fire was in my hand And everywhere I go, I'm crying "Sinner, come back home" I am on the battlefield for my Lord I am on the battlefield for my Lord. (Hallelujah) I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I promised the Lord that I will serve Him till I die I'm on the battlefield for my Lord At times I was discouraged, along the rocky way The (unintelligible) depressed me, and I would often pray But soon the sun was shining in this weary soul of mine I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I am on the battlefield for my Lord I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I promised the Lord that I will serve Him till I die I'm on the battlefield for my Lord And when I see my Savior, I'll greet Him with a smile He'll heal the wounded spirit and only as a child And around the throne of grace He'll appoint my soul a place When I'm done on the battlefield for my Lord I am on the battlefield for my Lord I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I promised the Lord that I will serve Him till I die I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I am on the battlefield for my Lord I'm on the battlefield for my Lord I promised the Lord that I will serve Him till I die I'm on the battlefield for my Lord
