What is honor? Is it lordship?
Is is gained by ruling lands?
Is it for the wise and rich
For kings, with scepters in their hands?
What is honor? Is it glory?
Is it fame and majesty?
Does it mean that you are lauded
Lifted high for all to see?
What is honor? Is it greatness?
Is it found in bravery?
Is it found in feats of heroes
Those who fight or save or free?
What is honor? Is it goodness?
Is it great integrity?
Is it fighting sin’s enticement?
Is it found in purity?
What is honor? You will fail
To gain true honor on your own
True honor comes from Yehovah
While humbly kneeling ‘fore His throne
What is honor?–being chosen
By the One Who raised the dead
To have His might, and fight His wars
He honors me and lifts my head
