The Highest Honour

The sun is rising the day's begun
And with the morning 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 this honest and to 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 Savior
We deserve the highest honor

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?

So for my family and for my friends
And those whose world I spend the briefest moments in
And for myself and for my Savior
We deserve the highest honor

Was there compassion inside of me?
Or just ambition for selfish need
When I was faced
With compromise
Did I stand my ground or fall through the ice
And so tomorrow and then forever
Let love pass 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 Savior
We deserve the highest honor

And for myself
And for my Savior
We all deserve the highest honor
