i'll do my best to make the lord a good soldier

[porter]

still looking for the lyrics and music . here are some more of the words i can remember. does anyone recognize the song?

my steps may not always be right on time and when i hear the battle
i fear the front lines
but if he will give me strength to bear this cross on my shoulder
i'll do my best to make the lord a good soldier.

MAKE THE LORD A GOOD SOLDIER

I

DOWN THRU THE AGES, THE BATTLE'S BEEN WAGED.
AGAINST EVIL FORCES THE SAINTS KEPT THE FAITH.
WHEN I READ HOW THEY STOOD, IT MAKES ME FEEL BOLDER.
TO JOIN IN THE FIGHT AND MAKE THE LORD A GOOD SOLDIER.

II

IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHERE MY CAPTAIN CALLS.
OR IF MY DUTY'S IMPORTANT OR SMALL.
I'LL BE PAID AT THE END, WHEN MY BANNER'S FOLDED.
IF HE'LL SMILE AND SAY. YOU MADE THE LORD A GOOD SOLDIER.

CHORUS

MY STEPS MAY NOT ALWAYS, BE RIGHT IN TIME.
AND WHEN I HEAR THE BATTLE, I FEAR THE FRONT LINES.
BUT IF HE GIVES ME STRENGTH TO BEAR THE CROSS ON MY SHOULDER.
I'LL DO MY BEST TO MAKE THE LORD A GOOD SOLDIER.
