Capo 1

GI may never march in the infantry, DRide in the cavalry, GShoot the artillery.
GI may never Emfly o’er the enemy, But CI’m in the DLord’s ar-Gmy. (yes, sir!)
GI’m in the CLord’s ar-Gmy, (yes, sir!) I’m in the DLord’s ar-Gmy, (yes, sir!)
GI may never march in the infantry, DRide in the Calvary, GShoot the artillery.
GI may never Emfly o’er the enemy, But CI’m in the DLord’s ar-Gmy. (yes, sir!)
Mexico
I may never take a trip to Mexico, Ride a donkey oh so slow, eat a cheesy taco,
I may never wear a big sombrero, but I’m in the lords army (Si senor!)
I’m in the lords army (Si senor!) I’m in the lords army (Si senor!)
I may never take a trip to Mexico, Ride a donkey oh so slow, eat a cheesy taco,
I may never wear a big sombrero, but I’m in the lords army (Si senor!)
Africa
I may never in Africa abide, Be a Safari guide, Go on an elephant ride,
I may never shoot me a Rhino Hide, But I’m in the lords army! (Pound Chest)
I’m in the lords army! (Pound Chest) I’m in the lords army! (Pound Chest)
I may never in Africa abide, Be a Safari guide, Go on an elephant ride,
I may never shoot me a Rhino Hide, But I’m in the lords army! (Pound Chest)
Space
I may never blast into outer space, Shoot a laser any place, Win in a rocket race.
I may never walk on the moon in space But I’m in the Lord’s Army! (Roger, sir!)
I’m in the Lord’s Army! (Roger, sir!) I’m in the Lord’s Army! (Roger, sir!)
I may never blast into outer space, Shoot a laser any place, Win in a rocket race.
I may never walk on the moon in space But I’m in the Lord’s Army! (Roger, sir!)
Pirates
I may never have a black patch on my eye, and a parrot by my side, with a peg leg
walk on by, I may never bury treasure far and wide but I’m in the Lord’s Army (aarg matey!)
I’m in the Lord’s Army (aarg matey!) I’m in the Lord’s Army (aarg matey!)
I may never have a black patch on my eye, and a parrot by my side, with a peg leg
walk on by, I may never bury treasure far and wide but I’m in the Lord’s Army (aarg matey!)
Australia
I may never be called an Aussie, See a koala in a tree, Jump like a wallaby.
I may never see a croc, oh woe is me, But I’m in the Lord’s army. (G’day, Mate!)
I’m in the Lord’s army. (G’day, Mate!) I’m in the Lord’s army. (G’day, Mate!)
I may never be called an Aussie, See a koala in a tree, Jump like a wallaby.
I may never see a croc, oh woe is me, But I’m in the Lord’s army. (G’day, Mate!)

    Thanks for an easy to use site that has it all right in front of me! It’s great! I’d love to see you add more songs as I am always looking for great resources for childrens christian songs.

    I love having the guitar chords available on each page, but I think it is important to note that this song needs to be played with a capo 1 (or transposed up a half-step, but that makes some really inconvenient chording). When the guitar chords are toggled, it’d be fantastic if a capo indication would also show up on those songs where it is necessary.

    Other than that, I’m loving the site. I’m working on recording all the great songs from my Sunday School memories so the kids at my church can enjoy them all the time – let’s face it, most of the more “modern” songs are pretty ridiculous. As with almost everything nowadays, they don’t make them like they used to!

    I really appreciate this resource, and I’m not trying to criticise. Just hoping my input can help make a great thing even greater.

    Praise the Lord!

    Thanks for the input! I just started using a capo (which I really love using btw) so it’s difficult to remember what frets I put it on for what songs. I’ll mark this one as a fret #1 or whatever the proper notation would be.

    You’re recording eh? Send me some clips and I’ll replace my awkward singing.

    Love the site! I am looking for a song I had on a record album back in the early 60’s. It’s an ABC song. The words go like this, if I can remember correctly: “A B C D E F G, Jesus died for you and me. H I J K L M N, Jesus died for sinful men, Amen! O P Q R S T U, I believe God’s word is true, U V W, God has promised you, X Y Z, a home eternally” I saw a song posted on here that was on the same album, again, if I am remembering correctly. It’s the “I’m inright, upright,outright, downright, happy all the time” I had forgotten about that song so I was happy to find it! Thanks and God Bless you!

    Teaching myself the guitar and came across your site. Loving it!! A lot of songs I was hoping to find were here. @Mary – I know the song you are talking about and I might have the music/chords for it as its a chorus we sing with Child Evangelism Fellowship. You could try there or if not I could get it for you if you haven’t already got it. I know I have it on a CD from CEF with backing music.

    Blessings,

    Any chance you could tell us the copyright details so we can acknowledge the song properly when we use it? Many thanks – JOHN

    Beth says:

    I’ve never heard of some of these verses, but they’re very good. My church sings a few more I thought y’all might like.

    girls verse: I may never wear a skirt above the knees, kiss a boy behind the trees, marry till I’m 93, but I’m in the Lords army (Yes Ma’am!!) I’m in the Lords army (Yes Ma’am!!). I may never wear a skirt above the knees, kiss a boy behind the trees, marry till I’m 93, but I’m in the Lords army (Yes Ma’am!!) I’m in the Lords army (Yes Ma’am!!)

    everyone: I may never stand in the pulpit, scream and pitch a fit, never preach a little bit, I may never jump like a lunatic but I’m in the Lords army (AMEN) I’m in the Lords army (AMEN) Im in the Lords army (AMEN). I may never stand in the pulpit, scream and pitch a fit, never preach a little bit, I may never jump like a lunatic but I’m in the Lords army (AMEN) I’m in the Lords army (AMEN) Im in the Lords army (AMEN).

    — My old Pastor wrote the preacher verse, his name was Willard Thomas, but i have no clue about the girl one. (:

    George says:

    Thanks for sharing Beth. I miss bro Willard dearly and of course his rhyming rants.

    Elisabeth says:

    These are really good. I have also heard one that goes:
    I may never take a trip to Tokyo,
    Climb Mount Fugi ooh soo slooow,
    Wear a big komono.
    I may never meet a ninja on the road,
    But I’m in the Lord’s army. (Bow with hands together and say “Aso”)

    Love his site. It’s been such a blessing for me, having just recently taken over leading the children’s worship service.

    Just one recommendation. I suggest changing that C to an Am in the 6th measure.

    Thanks!

    Blessings,

    Hawaii: I may never take a trip to Hawaii, pick a coconut off a tree, eat a watermelon oh so sweet (spit out seed) I may never fish a whale right out of the sea, but I’m on the Lord’s army. Aloha (do aloha dance) šŸ™‚

    Grace says:

    I may never be a missionary in
    a country very far away
    and see the people there get saved.
    I may never preach the Gospel everyday
    But I’m in the Lord’s Army (yes sir!)

    I can always carry Gospel tracts with
    Give them out to anyone and everyone that I meet
    I can tell them bout my King who died for me
    Cause I’m in the Lord’s Army (yes sir!)

    I wrote these words for our Kids Krusade this year, if anyone wants them feel free to take them šŸ™‚
