Be Strong and Courageous

Verse

The road ahead looks hard to climb

And I don't know what waits down the line

I hear Your voice saying child don't be afraid

You're walking right beside me every step of the way

Chorus

Be strong and courageous

Don't be afraid

The Lord your God goes with you

Every step of the way

Through the fire through the valley

Through the darkest night

He will never leave you

He will never forsake you

The Lord is by your side

Verse 2

Fear came knocking at my door

I wondered if I could take any more

But every time I called Your holy name

You showed me that Your promise never changed

Yesterday today forever You're the same

So I'll keep walking praising Your name

Chorus

Be strong and courageous

Don't be afraid

The Lord your God goes with you

Every step of the way

Through the fire through the valley

Through the darkest night

He will never leave you

He will never forsake you

The Lord is by your side

Bridge

When I'm lonely You are there

When I'm hurting You still care

When I'm falling You catch me

When I'm calling You hear me

When I'm weak You are strong

When I'm lost You lead me on

Call and Response

Will He leave me

(Never never)

Will He forsake me

(Never never)

Who goes before me

(The Lord Almighty)

Then why should I fear

(My God is here)

Breakdown

Be strong

And courageous

Hold on

And keep the faith

Don't fear

He's walking with you

He promised

He'll never walk away

Final Chorus

I will be strong and courageous

I will not be afraid

For the Lord my God goes with me

Every step of the way

Through the fire through the valley

Until I see the morning light

He will never leave me

He will never forsake me

My God is by my side

Outro

Never leave me

Never forsake me

You promised Lord

And Your Word will never change

So I'll be strong

I'll be courageous

I'll keep walking by faith

For wherever this road may take me

My God goes with me all the way
