Heroes of the Faith

I first heard you at a singin' when I was just thirteen

You took the time to share with me the reason why you sing

You said the road’s not always easy but God is ever true

You said just share the good things that He has done for you

You became my Hero of the faith, soldier of the cross

Singing out the grand old story, Jesus saves the lost

And now it's time to lay your armor down and pass the torch

But you’re a Hero of the faith; soldier of the cross

I just got the news this morning, that you had slipped away

It seemed my heart was broken it couldn't end this way

But then I saw with spirit eyes the entrance you must have made

Running to the arms of Jesus, finally home to stay

With other Heroes of the faith, soldiers of the cross

Singing out the grand old story, Jesus saves the lost

And even though you’ve laid your armor down and passed the torch

You all are Heroes of the faith; Soldiers of the cross

Now it’s time to lay your armor down and pass the torch

You’re a Hero of my faith; a strong soldier of the cross
