RETURN WITH HONOR
I WENT OUT THERE AS A SERVANT OF THE LORD
READY TO SHARE HIS TRUTHS
I HELPED TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GOD
HOPING TO CHANGE THE WORLD
THERE WERE UPS, THERE WERE DOWNS
THERE WERE SMILES AND THERE WERE TEARS
SOME DAYS WERE FULL OF COURAGE
AND SOME DAYS WERE FULL OF FEAR
THERE WERE MOMENTS I DOUBTED MY ABILITIES
AND WISHED I COULD DISAPPEAR
THEN THE MOMENTS I FELT A STRENGTH WITHIN ME
I KNEW THE SAVIOR WAS NEAR
WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT SOMEONE LIKE ME
COULD STAND TALL IN THE MIDST OF ADVERSITY
BUT AS I LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A CHILD OF GOD
STANDING BEFORE MY SIGHT
I NOTICE THEIR CHANGE IN COUNTENANCE
THE LIGHT OF CHRIST BURNING BRIGHT
THIS JOY OF SERVICE THAT FILLS MY SOUL
ONLY MAKES ME WANT TO WORK MORE
IT HELPS ME TO FEEL CLOSER TO GOD
AND CAUSES MY SPIRIT TO SOAR
YET THROUGH IT ALL, IN MY QUEST TO CHANGE LIVES
I REALIZE THAT THE GREATEST CHANGE HAPPENED
IN THE LIFE THAT I CALL MINE
I GREW CLOSER TO THE SPIRIT IN WAYS I CAN’T DESCRIBE
AND DISCOVERED THE ME THAT MY FATHER SEES
THE ME THAT IS DEEP INSIDE
FOR CLAY IN HIS HANDS, THAT’S WHAT I SHALL BE
MOLDED INTO THE INSTRUMENT HE SEES FIT FOR ME
I WILL HOLD MY HEAD HIGH AS I SERVE HIM FAITHFULLY
NOT ONLY FOR THE REST OF THIS LIFE
BUT FOR ALL ETERNITY
AND WHEN I HAVE PASSED BEYOND THE VEIL
TO LIVE ONCE AGAIN WITH MY FATHER
I’LL KNOW I’VE COMPLETED MY MISSION IN LIFE
AS I RETURN WITH HONOR
