The Highest Honour

The sun is rising, the day's begun
And with the morning, the choices come
To live or die, to give or take
To have a vision or lose my faith
To bless my brother and children too
To be dishonest and hide the truth
To search for justice or find a way out
To shout or be silent, to trust or to doubt

So for my family and for my friends
And those whose world I spend
The briefest moments in
And for myself and for my Saviour
We all deserve the Highest Honour

The moon has risen to close the day
And I remember choices made
Was I humble, or was I proud?
Were my hands open or were they bound?
Was there compassion inside of me?
Or just ambition for selfish need
And when I was faced with compromise
Did I stand my ground or fall through the ice
And so tomorrow and then forever
Let love pour from me like a peaceful river

So for my family and for my friends
And those whose world I spend
The briefest moments in
And for myself and for my Saviour
We all deserve the Highest Honour
And for myself and for my Saviour
We all deserve the Highest Honour
