The Portrait of a Man
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
He begins his morning with a God given path
Attentive to the words of his parents past
A child taking steps to becoming what he is to be
A man fulfilling his purpose and destiny
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
A son of thunder destined to posses the land
Seeing wisdom, knowledge and how to understand
His neck is iced out with mercy and truth
Refusing to give in to the voice of immorality
He saves his most precious gift for the treasure he seeks
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
A man after God's own Heart
Working like the ant to provide for the summer and winter of life
All things increase as he honors the Lord whit his tithe
Over and above offering sets him up for prosperity
All needs are met beyond what he could ask or think
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
A warrior on his knees
Daily he communicates with God
And his trust is placed in Him
To the voice of the Lord he pays attention
For it will give him sound direction
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
The Beloved
As he searches for the wife that will be his crown
His treasure is busy building the kingdom when she is found
The greatest love he will ever find
He loves her as Christ loves the church
For that is a true measure of a man
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
He is a wise counsel
Raising his children to love and fear God
To rise up with anger never have they been prod
Leading by example to take correction without complaint
Proving that sometimes love calls for chastening and restraint
What is a Mighty Man of Valor?
He ends his day with honor
Leaving a legacy of love for generations to come
His life an example for his daughters and sons
To pray always and never cease
To hold on for the blessing slow to release
To trust his wife to hold his heart
To seek his purpose and fulfill his destiny
To excel in his work and stand before kings
To labor in righteousness leading to life
To always heed words of the wise
A man that stands and doesn't run for cover
This is what makes a Mighty Man of Valor!
