Daphne Richardson – Be Courageous

Lyrics: Be Courageous by Daphne Richardson

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
