THE WEAPON OF PRAYER
Louvin Brothers version, edited by Susan O. Hinton.

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.

REFRAIN:
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 hands--
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer.

Many thousand miles away
Someone's 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 the weapon that will save our home.

When the flames and tanks and guns
Have done all that they can do,
And the mighty bombs have rained and failed,
Still the Master's hand above
Holds the weapon made of love,
And against Him not all earth prevail.
