Chords for The Original Messengers - I'm On The Battlefield For My Lord

[G] _ As most of you know, I've been through a lot in my life. _
I've had many ups and downs.
A lot of people have told me, said,
Banks, [C] you [G] ought to retire and go home.
You done got [C] old now.
You ought to let [G] somebody else, younger than you, take your place.
But I talked with the Lord about it,
and he told me, he said, that race wasn't given to the swift or the strong,
but to those who endure it to the end.
I checked it out, and I found out that there is no retirement in God's services.
[Gm] So I got on my knees, and I softly told the Lord,
[G] if you give me strength, I will always say these words.
[Gm] Lord, I'm on.
On the battlefield.
