Allen Thomas, Critter Martinez - Hero Lyrics

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
Did you ever know
Did you ever know
Please allow me the privilege to make this introduction
To a man that helped me see redemption
Cuz his faith was public
Wasn’t private, he didn’t hide it
In his prayer closet
Wears it loud and proud
With no shame to share often
Did you ever know your words helped me to overcome
My own wickedness when my life should’ve been over & done
I was drunk & confused, & you stepped in to sober me up
I was lost, you told me the Man on the Cross
Was still showing me love
Thank you for being faithful & know that because
You stood firm in believing God would heal my wounds
And sow me rite up
Although I left and came back
Your arms were still opened wide up
I rejoice in making that choice
All the while I had hoped that they was
You couldn’t ask for a better example
Freedom to the House
Bringing Praise up in the Chapel
When I picture you, all I can see is Christ
Your passion and dedication is motivation for me to be a light
You spoke in direction to stay on the rite path when I was outta tune
Said if I do my part
God will fix my heart
Like auto tune
The Bible tells me that this is what I oughta do
From the bottom of my heart
Pastor I honor you
Hope you know just what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Opened up my eyes so I can see
And now I see
I can’t hide it
It must be told
Gotta let you know
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
A hero is defined by how they sacrifice for others
You and your wife both take your time
Laid down your life to disciple others
Pouring into the community, local outreaches
You taught me by showing me
That I am nothing without Jesus
Called me no hype, it’s not about me, no
So that by the power of the Holy Spirit
May you abound in hope
Many chains are broken
To God I have you to bring mention
Without your guidance never would I have reached repentance
In those moments I felt no need to be rescued
God sent you, I pray that God continues to bless you
On this white knuckle ride, up and down we go
Every sermon you preach
Reaches deep inside, ignites a fire in my soul
If you don’t know, then now you know
I can’t shut it up so I gotta let it go
Gotta let you know just what you mean to me
Thank you for removing the scales on my eyes & now I see
Hope you know just what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Opened up my eyes so I can see
And now I see
I can’t hide it
It must be told
Gotta let you know
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
Hope you know just what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Opened up my eyes so I can see
And now I see
I can’t hide it
It must be told
Gotta let you know
Did you ever know that you’re my hero

Did you ever know that you’re my hero
Did you ever know
Did you ever know
Please allow me the privilege to make this introduction
