Heroines and Heros

The heroines and heroes of our faith
We celebrate in speech and song today;
They cheer for us as we walk earthly path
And follow Him who is Life, Truth, and Way.

No more do we to godless heroes look
But to the ones who held the faith steadfast
And never Jesus in their lives forsook–
Were true to Him and to His life that lasts.

Through them we see the floodgates open wide
As Father pours His grace from heaven down,
And we in Spirit with His saints abide–
Are clothed inside with Jesus’ holy gown.

They celebrate with us our Father’s Son
Who died for us to rise in victory won.
