On the Battlefield Nina Hagen

I am on the battlefield for my Lord
Oh working
Yes, I am on the battlefield
I'm working for my Lord
And I promised him that I ...
Would serve him till I die
Yes, I am on the battlefield for my Lord

I was alone and I was idle
I was a sinner, too ...
I heard a voice from heaven
Telling me that there is work to do

And I took my master's hand
And I joined the Christian band
Yes, I am on the battlefield for my Lord
(Yes I am)

I left my friends and kindred
Bound for the Promised Land
The grace of God upon me
The Holy Bible in my hand
In the distant lands
I trod:
Crying out, "sinners! Come back home to God!"
