Faithful Footsteps

In tribute to
Herb & Thelma Read


Faithful footsteps, following You,
True soldiers of the cross...
Those who suffer, yet march on,
And don't consider loss.

These are giants of the faith,
Unsung heroes in their day,
Who give their lives in serving You,
Who don't give up but always pray...

Whose health is sometimes frail and weak,
Whose times are truly in Your hand,
But they are Yours and You are theirs,
And in YOUR strength they stand.

What glorious tribute is a life
Which shines so brightly for Your cause,
Which speaks profoundly of Your love...
All heav'n will bring applause!
