THE LORD'S ARMY

Words and music: Jeremiah

Verse One:
(C)When you joined the (G/B)Lord's (Am)Army,
Must've (F)been many things you didn't rea(C)lize.
You're faced with (G/B)your first (Am)battle,
And you (F)acted so darned sur(C)prised.
So you're found in the (G/B)midst of (Am)battle, sayin',
"I (F)must have done some awful (C)sin!"
Well, if you didn't ex(G/B)pect to (Am)go to war,
Why'd you ever (F)join the Lord's Army,
My (C)friend, (G/B)my (Am)friend?
Why'd you ever join the (F)Lord's Army, my (C)friend?
(Fmaj7)-(C)-(Fmaj7)

Verse Two:
So you (C)get up (G/B)in the (Am)mornin',
Just (F)hopin' it'll be a better (C)day,
But you no sooner (G/B)get started (Am)prayin'
And (F)things are already seemin' (C)gray.
So you're faced with an(G/B)other (Am)battle,
And you just (F)don't know what to (C)say.
Well, if you didn't ex(G/B)pect to (Am)got to war,
Why'd you ever join the (F)Lord's Army
Any (C)way, (G)any (Am)way?
Why'd you ever join the (F)Lord's Army
Anyway, any (C)way?

Bridge:
So when you're (D)faced with a battle, don't get (F)blue.
After all, fightin' (D)battles is what soldiers are supposed to (F)do.
You know, the (D)Lord, He wants to make a fighter out of (F)you.
Not a bed of (C)roses, (G/B)but a (Am)war
Is (F)what He (G)promised (C)you, (G/B)promised (Am)you.

Al(D)though you may not under (G)stand,
Just go in and claim the (C)land, (G/B)claim the (Am)land,
Claim the (F)land, claim the (G)land, claim the (C)land.
Al(D)though you may not under (G)stand,
Just go in and claim the (C)land, (G/B)claim the (Am)land,
Claim the (F)land, claim the (G)land, claim the (C)land.
