Revered as the greatest

Made space so I could make it

Not here today, but we celebrate your life.

With it, you paid the price.

A price we appreciate because you answered the call

Where would we be if you didn’t march down the streets of Montgomery

Or stand in the pit of the fire

So that I could relish in the joy and freedom, I desire

You made a choice

To answer the call

A call by God

You could have turned your back and went on livin

But God had a plan for you

A bigger vision.

A vision where color wouldn’t matter

Where people would be able to succeed because of their ability and not because of their color identity

Unselfishly, you choose the narrow road

So millions to come would be able to relish in the joy of freedom

We look back today and say Thank you, Jesus

As we celebrate the life of a man

A man who came and answered the call

Laid down His wants and let God speak to his heart

What can we take away from the life he lived?

That with God, even in death, you live.
