Be Courageous

When there was no applause And no one in my corner Intimidated But had to face the pressure Heart beating fast As I'd proclaim your message I'd watch people walk away It's easy to feel Your words not worth rejection Rather be comfortable Than go onto perfection You never let me give up You'd run an interference Never let me go astray You command me You encourage me To be courageous, endure, endure, yeah, yeah, yeah I'm courageous, endure, endure You are with me, you will not fail me I'll be courageous, endure, endure When there was only You And no one else was for me Prayer was my life support You kept me breathing Words would hurt like arrows You put a shield before me Oh, I am free from shame I'll walk this lonely road If it guarantees Your presence The narrow way is hard And few rarely find it Death to self is daily The grave is just an entrance I will not be afraid To be courageous, endure, endure I'm courageous, endure, endure You are with me, you will not fail me I'll be courageous, endure, endure Never knew I had it in me You placed it in me, ooh Strength to go on (You are my strength) I thought that I was finished You heard me SOS and sent Strength to go on (to go on) Never knew I had it in me, whoa You placed it in me, ooh Strength to go on I thought that I was finished But, You heard me SOS and sent Strength to go on, ooh You command me (command me) Oh, Jesus, You encourage me Oh, I hear You saying Be courageous, endure, endure I'm courageous, endure, endure You are with me, you will not fail me I'll be courageous, endure, endure Be strengthed to go on Be strengthed to go on You are with me You will not fail me I'll be courageous, endure, endure
