(We'll be fightin' for our countrymen but we'll be workin' 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 fightin' for our countrymen but we'll be workin' 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 laughin' and they're talkin' 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 fightin' for our countrymen but we'll be workin' for the Lord
