Story Behind The Song
Lynn asked Kevin and I if we'd like to help write a song to be entered in the National Day Of Prayer song contest so we wrote this one and it received an Honorable Mention for finishing in the top 10 entries.
Song Description
The brief was to write a song based on a biblical phrase - He who honors me, so I will honor. The secondary brief was that it also had to be about America.
We decided to write specific to that phrase and also make it general enough not to be just about

Lyrics
WE WILL HONOR YOU (L.Wilbanks/K.Stokes/L.Flowers)
The brushstrokes of your hand
Gave beauty to this land
You were here long before
Our footprints touched the sand
You gave color to the canyons
Crafted every peak and plain
The splendor of America
Brings glory to your name
And you?re calling out for us to do the same
CHORUS :
We will honor you
We will pray to you
Stay close to you
And live in your truth
You honor us with your love
And you guide us through
When we pray to you
We will honor you
Through our nation?s life and times
You?ve always been our light
Shining brighter than a beacon
On any stormy night
How is it we are worthy
Of the favour you have shown
We give to you our gratitude
For the greatest love we?ve known
We praise you for this land we call pur home
CHORUS REPEAT :
Bridge :
We will glorify your name
In the choices we make
In the way we live our lives every day
CHORUS REPEAT :
Tag :
In our prayers to you
We will honor you
