~You
Can Make A
Difference~
I dreamed
heaven's
gates
opened
And I saw
the great
hall of
fame
There
stood
before me,
the hero's
of faith
I knew
each
beloved
name
A myriad
of
questions
arose in
my heart
I needed
some
answers,
my way to
know
What gave
them that
courage
That get
up and go
With
belief in
their
heart,
they
understood
To trust
every word
their God
had said
Being
willing to
love, no
matter
what
Each day
to be led
To believe
that
tomorrow
Held more
promise of
a future
to be
They gave
of their
all, as
examples
of faith
For you
and for me
Oh, may I
seek that
same
trusting
heart
To make a
difference
by giving
my all
With a
true love
unto death
May I
answer
God's call

They were
longing
for a
better
country
-a
heavenly
one.
God is not
ashamed to
be called
their God,
for He has
prepared a
city for
them.
And what
more shall
I say?
I
do not
have time
to tell
about
Gideon,
Barak,
Samson,
Jephthah,
David,
Samuel and
the
prophets,
who
through
faith
conquered
kingdoms,
administered
justice,
and gained
what was
promised;
who shut
the mouths
of lions,
quenched
the fury
of the
flames,
and
escaped
the edge
of the
sword;
whose
weakness
was turned
to
strength;
and who
became
powerful
in battle
and routed
foreign
armies.
Women
received
back their
dead,
raised to
life
again.
Others
were
tortured
and
refused to
be
released,
so that
they might
gain a
better
resurrection.
Some faced
jeers and
flogging,
while
still
others
were
chained
and put in
prison.
They were
stoned;
they were
sawn in
two; they
were put
to death
by the
sword.
They went
about in
sheepskins
and
goatskins,
destitute,
persecuted
and
mistreated,
the world
was not
worthy of
them. They
wandered
in deserts
and
mountains,
and in
caves and
holes in
the
ground.
These were
all
commended
for their
faith,
yet none
of them
received
what had
been
promised.
God had
planned
something
better for
us
so that
only
together
with us
would they
be made
perfect.
Hebrews
11:16,
32-40
