[Spoken]
I was just hanging around with the LORD one day...
and uh... I said: LORD I wanna be a part of your army.
I said: LORD I wanna be a part of your army.
And I wanna be a part of that generation that you raise up and...
and the LORD He just sang this over me... He said:

[Song]
You've got your best man on the front side
You always show your best side
And evil's always on the other side
You say this is your strategy
But son I hope you take it from me
You look just like your enemy
You're full of pride
You're full of pride

[And I just sang back to Him... I said...]

[Chorus]
We better trash our idols
if we're gonna be in the army of the Lord
And the greatest idol is you and me,
we better get on the threshing floor.
When will we learn that God's strategy
Is giving glory to the Lord?
So God... So we trash our idols
cause we wanna be in the army of the Lord.

Star how beautiful you shine
You shine's more beautiful than mine
You shine from sea to shining sea
World-wide is your strategy
But shinning star I hope you see
If the whole wide world is staring straight at you
They can't see me...

They can't see me
I want them to know me
I want to show my glory,
but they, they can't see me.

So rise, rise, rise
live out your phalacy
think that you're better then me
rise, rise, rise
live out your man-made religiosity
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.

[Chorus]

In the army of the Lord
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 pleasing in the army of the Lord
In the army, in the army of the Lord

Raise em up, raise us up, oh God.
