To Honor You**

Lord, our entrance to Your church,
is not the end of our spiritual search,
a search for all that is Holy and true,
for all that we can find to honor You.

Once we walk through those open doors,
there is no turning back to the world once more.
Though mistakes are made and sins are done,
we must remember the sacrifice of Your Holy Son.

Lord, Your grace and mercy are given free,
forgiveness starting on our bended knees,
knowing we cannot earn our own way,
accepting His blessings of Yesterday.

Where we first went through those open doors,
searching for something we never had before.
A connection to our Lord's saving grace,
leading us to eternity's heavenly place.

John 1:16 "From the fullness of his grace
we have all received one blessing after another."
