You Are My Hero

You Are My Hero - Dennis Jernigan

I've seen you standing alone and face the fight

When others laid their weapons down and headed for home

I've seen you face the fire and come out shining like gold

And I want you to know

I've seen you lay visions down for someone else

And give your life a sacrifice no fanfare allowed

I've watched to weather storms

That would have left others drowned

And this is what I've found

You are my hero

My knight in shiny armor

A warrior of god's grace

Standing alone faithfully

You are my hero

You're a light that pierces darkness

With love that's not afraid to fight for someone like me

Encouraging me to stand firm and free

You are my hero

You are my hero

I've seen you look down the road and see beyond

For miles and head for truth and faith while bearing the load

I've heard your anguished cries for grace and watched joy unfold

And I want you to know

You are my hero

My knight in shiny armor

A warrior of god's grace

Standing alone faithfully

You are my hero

You're a light that pierces darkness

With love thats not afraid to fight for someone like me

Encouraging me to stand firm and free

I've seen you face death with a deep burning faith

That stirs up the passion in me

Your hearts like a fire abounding in grace

A beacon helping others to see

To help them be free

You are my hero

My knight in shiny armor

A warrior of god's grace

Standing alone faithfully

You are my hero

You're a light that pierces darkness

With love that's not afraid to fight for someone like me

Encouraging me to stand firm and free

You are my hero

You are my hero

You are my hero

You are my hero
