HONOR
Oh say can you hear all the rumblings, the sound of the river in flight,
The heat that is felt in the soul, oh Lord what could it be?
The feeling that’s felt in the soul, a feeling that makes us vibrate,
The love that is felt deep within oh Lord what could it be?
Oh it’s the Apostle of Jesus! The man that was chosen by God!
The brilliance that shines in the altar, and inside my soul.
CHORUS
//Rejoice// oh hear your people rejoice,
From north and south they’ve come here, united only to be close to you,
//Rejoice// look at your people rejoice.
Rejoice for they take you in their souls,
Rejoice to be here close to you.

Through out all the face of this round orb, the fruits are now seen in your works,
This labor is blessed of God who gives plentiful fruit.
Your children are found in all places, the seed that our Jesus gave you,
They honor you, nations and people, fulfilling our promise to you,
The stars of the heavens that shape up you name chosen one.
3
Those people that do not know of you, they cease not to defame your faith,
May God so forgive them their offence; they do not know love.
The people that now have received you, their hands they now lift up to you,
Their faces are happy their tears flowing free from their eyes.
Those men so courageous who give you their fealty now stand by your side,
The people who fill up the temple are loyal to you.
