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 thats 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)
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 that's 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 heart 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 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
You are my hero (you are my hero)
You are my hero (you are my hero)
You are my hero (you are my hero)
You are my hero
