Lyrics for Army of the Lord

I'm working on the building It's a true foundation I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord I'll have a good time Working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward When you see me praying I'm working on the building I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord Well, I'll never get tired Working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward When you hear me singing I'm working on the building I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord Well, I'll never get tired When I'm working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward When you see me crying I'm working on the building I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord Well, I'll never get tired Working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward When you see me crying I'm working on the building I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord Well, I'll never get tired Tired of working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward I'm working on the building It's a true foundation I'm lifting up a bloodstained Banner for the Lord Well, I'll never get tired Tired of working on the building I'm going to heaven To get my reward
