Hero of Faith

I just heard the news another soldier has gone home
Hero of faith just passed thru Heavens Gate
And a multitude was waiting you were not alone
Though Earth feels great loss you just lay down your cross
You left us behind now you’ve crossed the finish line

Hero of Faith we salute you
Soldier of the cross we’re going to miss you
Pioneer of the old paths you boldly led the way
Legendary child of God you made it home today

Words cannot express what your life meant to me
Treasures you’ve been laying up were more than you could dream
As you join that cloud of witnesses where God’s prepared your place
If you’re near Heavens balcony looking back down on this race
Chorus
Stepping off old Jordan’s Banks where you’ve longed to be
Faithful unto death but now around the crystal sea
Eyes that sought for one lost soul now beholding Jesus face
You have gained the prize my friend you’re a trophy of his grace
Chorus
