The Weapon of Prayer

The Weapon of Prayer - The Louvin Brothers

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 each night and day on the battle

Line 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've 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

When the planes and tanks and guns have done all

That they can do

And the mighty bombs have rained and fell

Still the helpful hand above holds a 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
