The Notting Hillbillies - Weapon of Prayer lyrics
[The Notting Hillbillies - Weapon of Prayer lyrics]
In that land across the sea there's
A job for you and me
Though our presence there may not be found
We must stay standing there on
The battle lines and pray
We must never lay our weapons down
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
Many thousand miles away someone
Shed their blood today
With a heart so true and brave they're gone
To a war that's yours and mine
Let us join the battle line
With a weapon that will save our home
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
And when the planes and tanks and guns
Have done all that they can do
And the mighty bombs have rained and failed
Still the helpful hand above
On the weapon made of love
And against him none on earth prevail
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
A job for you and me
Though our presence there may not be found
We must stay standing there on
The battle lines and pray
We must never lay our weapons down
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
Many thousand miles away someone
Shed their blood today
With a heart so true and brave they're gone
To a war that's yours and mine
Let us join the battle line
With a weapon that will save our home
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
And when the planes and tanks and guns
Have done all that they can do
And the mighty bombs have rained and failed
Still the helpful hand above
On the weapon made of love
And against him none on earth prevail
We don't have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand with
The weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer
