Learn more about this song Leslie was a preacher and Martha was his wife.
Together they served their church and God their entire lives.
With all their hearts and minds and souls they lived what they believed.
They raised five children passing on their faith to family.
Their door was always open and their welcome always true.
They were a light to all they knew and they changed my life too. Ordinary people teach us in extraordinary ways.
They are people I admire and learn from every day. Mrs. Y is a teacher; the children love her so.
Taught A-B-Cs for thirty years and helped the kids to grow.
Her doctor told her to retire; "You've got to give your heart a rest."
People came from all around to wish her the very best.
But next year she was back to work; she just could not stay away.
"I'm not complete if I'm not with my children every day." Ordinary people teach us in extraordinary ways.
She's a person I admire and learn from every day. Travis struggled all through school, he didn't make the grade.
He was told, "You are stupid and it's just the way you're made."
Until one day he learned that all he had was ADD.
He finished school with honours and went to university.
Pressured by intellectuals, he had courage to make his stand.
"As a farmer I'm not wealthy, but I love to work the land." Ordinary people teach us in extraordinary ways.
He's a person I admire and learn from every day. Grandpa was a man who always had a twinkle in his eye.
He entertained us with his humour and we'd laugh so hard, we'd cry.
Even at his time of passing his grace and wit shone through.
"I've had a good life, so please don't cry. I'll always be a part of you.
Meeting your dear grandma was my greatest dream come true.
She was always my true love, and she gave me all of you." Ordinary people teach us in extraordinary ways.
He's a person I admire and learn from every day. A woman somewhere in Idaho does her daily chores.
She turns each task into a holy moment with her Lord.
Rising above the drudgery she finds blessings everywhere.
Her life is a meditation and each breath, a living prayer.
"Each moment is a treasure to be cherished and revered,
And duty is a gift of love for people we hold dear." Ordinary people teach us in extraordinary ways.
She's a person I admire and learn from every day. Ordinary people touch us in extraordinary ways.
There are so many people I admire and learn from every day.
