(....We just sang out the Lord one day,
and, I said 'Lord I wanna be part of your army'
and, said 'Lord I wanna be part of your army'
'I wanna be part of that generation of people you raise up'
and the Lord, just sang this over me and said)

In the army of the Lord
In the army, In the army of the Lord
Raise us up, Raise us up, Oh God!
