She keeps her word when no one sees
Strong in stillness, quick to knees
Drives the day with quiet flame
Loyal love without a name
He moves like oak in wind and rain
Service stitched through joy and pain
Gives his strength before it's asked
Holds the line when storms are cast
He loves her like the church is loved
Patient heart and heaven-gloved
Steady hands and open door
Gives and gives and gives some more
Lord, let that laughter live in me
Let that wisdom steady me
Let that loyalty anchor me
Let that strength refine in me
Honor their echo in my bones
Let their faith become my own
Build in me what I have known
From the roots that made my home
Honor their mercy, make it mine
Shape my heart along that line
'Til their legacy aligns
With the life You're forming in me
She speaks with grace but never bends
Quick to mend what pride offends
Humor hiding holy sight
Turning burdens feather-light
She moves with purpose clear and true
Driven not by praise but You
Wise in quiet, firm in grace
Joy still written on her face
He stands when others start to sway
Serves without a word to say
Keeps his promises intact
Faithful through both loss and lack
His love is patient, fierce and plain
Unembarrassed by the strain
He gives before he counts the cost
Never measuring what is lost
So let their courage color me
Let their mercy cover me
Let their discipline define my frame
Let their constancy remain
Honor their echo in my bones
Let their faith become my own
Build in me what I have known
From the roots that made my home
Honor their patience, shape my will
Teach my restless heart be still
'Til their goodness echoes on
Through the life I'm living
I have failed where they stood tall
Spoken sharp and stumbled small
But their prayers still pave the floor
I am walking on once more
If I rise, it will be traced
To the mercy they embraced
If I stand, it won't be new
It will be what You made true
Honor their echo in my bones
Let their faith become my own
Write their virtues in my tone
'Til my weakness overthrown
Honor their love that never swayed
Let their sacrifices stay
'Til the day I hear You say
"I have honored them by living"
Let me carry what they gave
Honor written in the way I love
Let me carry what they gave
Honor written in the way I love
I love
