Lyrics:

Like dust in the wind

A man's heart goes unseen

His labors forgotten at the threshold of time

The grass withers, the flowers fades

But the word of his testimony stands forever

The man's honor was his love

Faithfullness - his pledge

But his memory - a pearl to the swine

One man walked tall

Faced the devil with his back against the wall

To the ground, the blood ran off his fingers

Scorched from fire in his bones

Yet today, his last thought lingers

Around his neck, against his heart

He wore a silver cross

- He knew what freedom cost

His voice only an echo in the wind

Freed those golden shackles

A child of time no more

A mirror of the crimson thorn

That the man of sorrow wore

He gave unselfishly

The devil stole his life, love

But not the hope of his soul

If he'd only died in her arms

His dream would have been complete

Yet can such love dwell in a man

If God is his witness, I know it can

Would you plant the seed

Of that martyr's last creed

Proclaim God's gospel

Raise your head, heed his hope

Did You stand by the week

Whom the angels serve

Will you dare to hold

A martyrs hand

And guide the unseen host

Who with him stand

Will you share that vision at death's door

Stand proud by his side

To serve the Lord
