An Honor To Serve
Words and music by Ray Boltz
He was just a young man when he first heard the call
Come and join the battle, come and give us your all
And he rose up to follow leaving all else behind
And he joined in this song as he reached the front lines
Its an honor to serve
To join in the fight
To lift up my voice
And to lay down my life
Giving glory to God
Seeking none in return
Its an honor, an honor to serve
Now the day he was captured, they locked him in chains
And though weeks turned to years still his faith stayed the same
As his body was broken, his dark hair turned gray
But each night in his cell he would stand up and say
Chorus
Now one day the war finally came to an end
And he spoke with his heart as he stood with his men
*Spoken We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our commander-in-chief and to our nation for this dayGod Bless America
As they lifted the flag at the front of the crowd
I watched him stand up and bring his hand to his brow
Oh Lord help me remember what true honor means
And no matter the cost to stand up and sing
