Heroes

I wonder if our world needs heroes anymore

Someone to stand up and bring peace

Do they need someone like me

someone who is brave enough to settle the score

or can they not remove the trees

Maybe they don't need me anymore,

I must confess, though,

IF our world has ever needed heroes,

heroes like Gideon, Samson, David,

it's now.

Our society, our homes, our families

are all being bombarded by the devil

and his schemes.

If they cannot speak because they are not brave enough,

If they won't speak because they are too strong to admit weakness,

I'll go.

My life was only given worth

because The Creator fashioned me

with His holy hands

and even though this world

calls me an orphan

until He calls me home,

I will stand in the gap.

I am not afraid of the endless tides

that seem to rise against me.

I have already lost a whole lot

and I know that my God protects me

So I will become a hero by admitting weakness 

and by following Jesus.
