(....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):
BmAG
You've got your best man on the front side
BmAG
You always show your best side
BmAG
And evil's always on the other side
BmAG
You say this is your strategy
BmAG
But son I hope you take it from me
BmAG
You look just like your enemy
BmAG
You're full of pri--- i-- i-- de
BmAG
You're full of pri--- i-- i-- de
(and I just sing that day and said):
BmGG
We better trash our idols if we want to be
ABmAG
In the army of the Lord
BmGG
And the greatest idol is you and me,
ABmAG
We better get on the threshing floor
BmGG
When will we learn that God's strategy
ABmAG
Is giving glory to the Lord?
BmGG
So God, so trash our idols cos' we want to be
ABmAG
In the army of the Lord
BmAG
Star how beautiful you shine
BmAG
You shine more beautiful than mine
BmAG
You shine from sea to shining sea
BmAG
World-wide is your stra--tegy
BmAG
But shinning star I hope you see
BmAG
If the whole wide world is staring straight at you
They can't - see - me...
[play this in "me..."]:

(...I want them to know me but they can't see me
I want them to know me,
I want to show my glory but they, they can't see me..)
( BmAG
So rise... rise... rise...
Live out your fantasy; think that your better than me?
BmAG
Rise... rise... rise...
Live out your man-made religiosity!
BmAG
Rise... rise... rise...
Live out your strategies!
Rise, rise, rise so the world can see
Rise, rise, rise so the world can see
So the world can see just another dying star...

We better trash our idols if we want to be

[BmAG ]:
Raise up an army, Raise up an army, Raise up an army, Oh God!
Raise up an army, Raise up an army, Raise up an army
In the army of the Lord, In the army of the Lord
there's no room, there's no room, there's no room for idolatry
In the army of the Lord
there's no room, there's no room for man's pleasing
In the army of the Lord
In the army, In the army of the Lord
Raise us up, Raise us up, Oh God!
