A Martyr's Crown

Lyrics: Verse 1 In the heart of the fight, with a voice unafraid, He rallied the faithful, in the light of the crusade. A builder of movements, from campus to stage, Turning young hearts to the timeless page. With polish and fire, he navigated the storm, A shepherd for souls, keeping faith ever warm. Chorus Oh, Charlie, heavenly minded, bold and true, Populating the heavens, with a vision anew. You stood for the truth, through the trials and the fray, Now your crown shines eternal, in the Father's array. Well done, good and faithful one, Your legacy echoes, forever begun. Verse 2 Against the shadows of doubt, he proclaimed the way, Sowing seeds of redemption, come what may. A champion of grace, in a world turned aside, Guiding the lost to the arms open wide. Every battle he fought, every word that he said, Was to gather the flock, where the Savior has led. (Bridge) In the quiet of faith, through the roar of the crowd, He pressed on with courage, standing tall and proud. No earthly chain could dim the Father's might, he lived for His glory, in the dead of the night. The gates swing wide now, the angels proclaim, A servant returns, to his eternal domain. Verse 3 Stepping into the light, where the faithful abide, A voice of pure welcome, with joy amplified. The words he'd awaited, from the dawn of his call, Resound through the heavens, embracing it all: “Well done, good and faithful servant, Because thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will place thee over many things: Enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Outro Oh, Charlie, heavenly minded, wearing the crown, In the joy of the Lord. Well done... well done... faithful one
