[Verse 1] They laugh behind their polished glass At the uniform I wear each day But I lift where I am, let the mockery pass There's honor in this humble way Every task I touch with care Builds a temple in the air [Verse 2] My hands are stained, my shoes are worn From the labor they dismiss But I keep my eyes on that eternal dawn When all true work receives its kiss In the kingdom yet to come Every faithful deed finds home [Chorus] It's not the title on your door Not the suit you're wearing It's the fire in your core And the load you're bearing Sand and steel, wind and stone Build the heart that stands alone Sand and steel, wind and stone Dignity you make your own [Verse 3] The coffee shop where I serve their drinks They barely see me standing there But I know the One who truly thinks My service shows a heart that cares Each cup I pour with quiet grace Reflects the light upon my face [Verse 4] When the shift ends and I walk home Past the mansions on the hill I remember I am not alone Working out my Father's will The work itself becomes my prayer Sacred moments everywhere [Verse 5] Now I stand with head held high Let them measure worth their way I've got treasures they can't buy Stored beyond this fading day My reward waits past the veil Where no honest work can fail [Chorus] (Outro) It's not the title on your door Not the suit you're wearing It's the fire in your core And the load you're bearing Sand and steel, wind and stone Build the heart that stands alone Sand and steel, wind and stone Dignity you make your own
