Honor to Your Name
Sister Mimi
Written October 04, 2020
I always ask “Lord, make me more like You”
Without adding up the cost
I always pray to soar on eagle’s wings
And never think about my cross
But I’ve come to know just what it takes
To be molded by Him in every way
Now I’m replacing my earthly thoughts
With something I thought I’d never say
Chorus
Thank you for the trials
Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the heartache
I’m grateful for the rain
Thank you for rejection
Through it all, I will reign
Cause in the midst of suffering
I was meant to bring
Honor to Your name
I think about some of Your faithful few
How they gave their all to You
Some were tortured, beaten, and slaughtered
Not to mention, misunderstood
So how can I expect anything less
When it’s through the very trying, that I’ll be blessed
So LORD I don’t want a flowery bed of ease
It’s the Giver of the trial, Whom I long to please
LORD, and no one else
Chorus
Oh… oooh..
Honor to Your name
In my suffering
In my offering
You’ll get all the honor
Honor to Your name
Every necessary evil
Through situations and through people,
The honor, LORD
Cause when my suffering
Is paired with my teaching
It brings forth a character
A sweet-smelling savor
Honor to Your name
