I'm on the Firing Line Lyrics

This world with its allurements
may try to sway my soul
but it can never sway me
I've given to him control
in him I am confiding
in his love I am abiding
he will keep me on the firing line

I'm on the firing line
for heaven I am bound
I'm on the firing line
I'll go a soldiers round?
Satan had bound but Jesus he found me
I'm on the firing line to stay

well it's worth the while to serve him
whatever may be tithed
for in his precious promise
he'll be right by our side
though all the world forsake us
in his arms he will take us
if we stay right on the firing line

I'm on the firing line
for heaven I am bound (hallelujah now)
I'm on the firing line
I'll go a ??
Satan had bound but Jesus he found me
Now I'm on the firing line to stay

and when this work has ended
and we near the swelling tide
we shall hear our savior calling
from the other side
with joy he will meet us
for the angels there will greet us
if we stay right on the firing line

I'm on the firing line
for heaven I am bound
Now, I'm on the firing line
I'll go ???
Satan had bound but Jesus he found me
Now I'm on the firing line to stay
