Working For The Lord - Loretta Lynn

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
