Walking into Battle with the Lord

A new crusade to the Holy Land

An army of men under my command

Fight the good fight here at home

Send those men to kingdom come

Take my aim with a higher will

Trust my Lord to hold me still

Say 'amen' and shoot to kill

Walking into battle with the Lord

With open arms on Judgement Day

Teach the children how to pray

Faithful, blind, we all believe

I was taught by Adam but I blame it on Eve

All my words in kindness came

Your souls in mercy to reclaim

Cleanse this world of sin and shame

Walking into battle with the Lord

Holy Father, Mother Tongue

Manna from heaven, right from wrong

Take my place on the witness stand

Trigger fingers, praying hands

When two men meet on the field of war

They both ask 'what are we fighting for?'

And haven't we heard this all before?

Walking into battle with the Lord
