In Their Honor
Words and Music by Rebecca J. Peck
© Copyright Thomas Peck Music (BMI)
Verse 1
The bugle call at daybreak,
The sound of marching feet,
The rumbling noise of battle
The pain, the loss, the grief -
Courage under fire,
Their sacrifice so great,
We’re blessed each day with freedom
because they freely gave.
Chorus
In their honor,
Let us live lives of virtue
With grateful hearts for all that they have done,
And forever
May the flame of their devotion
Burn bright with the light from above
As we pass it to our sons and our daughters
In their honor.
Verse 2
The fields of plain, white crosses,
The names carved on a wall,
The ones who daily struggle
With battles they recall
Stir us to remember
The price of liberty,
Showing us our duty
Through their noble legacy.
Bridge
We will not forget the blessings
Bought with heroes’ blood.
We’ll join the fight for freedom’s cause
As we place in God our trust.
