The Carter Family - Keep on the Firing Line

Copied!

{Verse 1}
If you're in the battle for the Lord and right
Just keep on the firing line
If you win the battle, surely you must fight
So keep on the firing line

{Chorus}
Brother, keep on the firing line
Keep on the firing line
Time is getting short, Jesus coming soon
Brother, keep on the firing line

{Verse 2}
There are many dangers everyone must face
If you die fighting, there is no disgrace
With the Lord for cowards you will find no place
So keep on the firing line

{Chorus}

{Verse 3}
God can only use the soldiers he can trust
To keep on the firing line
If you wear the crown, bear the cross you must
So keep on the firing line

{Chorus}
