It’s those who go the extra mile
And all behind the scenes,
Without honour or recognition
And not wanting to be seen.
It’s those who plant the seeds
That will be watered in the heart,
Where wisdom and discernment
Will play a major part.
It’s those who risk their lives
To rescue us or set us free;
It’s those who know the value
Of what a humble heart should be.
Because it’s those who teach us well
When they walk the talk indeed,
As a living demonstration
Of what a great teacher should truly be.
It’s those who extend a helping hand
Where kindness it will dwell;
It’s the peacemakers who show love and grace
And where secrets they won’t tell.
It’s for those in society
Who are considered as unworthy,
But where the riches of their soul will shine
To portray a special story.
God will mainly use the broken;
Those not worthy of society,
To demonstrate what love it looks like
And where His glory can be seen.
Thank God for unsung heroes
As they’re an example to follow and be,
Because their sincerity and integrity
Is what our soul it yearns to see.
We thank God for Jesus Christ
Who hung upon that tree;
Reproached and made a spectacle
But paved the way to eternity.
Because our hero was undervalued
And rejected by society,
But was honoured and was respected
By those in heaven who will be.
