Be Courageous and Strong

[00:00.81] It’s dark outside.

[00:02.81] To start the day,

[00:05.80] She humbly starts to pray

[00:10.05] For her kids at school

[00:12.55] And the brotherhood:

[00:16.05] “Father, help us be faithful.”

[00:20.80] When things make it hard to cope,

[00:24.81] She never thinks of losing hope,

[00:29.56] Never stops being kind.

[00:33.55] And that song​—it’s always on her mind:

[00:36.55] (CHORUS)

[00:39.80] ‘I will make you strong.

[00:44.30] Do not be afraid.

[00:50.05] I will be with you.

[00:55.81] I will be your aid.’

[01:00.81] Be courageous and strong.

[01:05.30] It’s her favorite song.

[01:10.80] And “he will make you firm,

[01:15.31] And he will make you strong.”

[01:19.30] (BRIDGE)

[01:21.30] Time to get on her feet​—

[01:24.05] Try to make ends meet​—

[01:26.30] Never sure what to expect.

[01:32.05] Her true friends out there

[01:34.56] Really show her they care,

[01:37.55] So she never needs to fret.

[02:23.31] 2.She’ll soar on wings

[02:26.05] To rise up high,

[02:28.80] Like eagles in the sky.

[02:33.05] All the roles she plays​—

[02:35.80] So little time each day​—

[02:40.05] And in her heart, she starts to pray.

[02:44.05] Aching feet and tired hands​—

[02:49.80] She tries the very best she can.

[02:54.05] But there’s strength she can find

[02:57.80] In that song that’s always on her mind:

[03:01.31] (CHORUS)

[03:05.06] ‘I will make you strong.

[03:08.31] Do not be afraid.

[03:13.30] I will be with you.

[03:18.05] I will be your aid.’

[03:22.81] Be courageous and strong.

[03:28.30] It’s her favorite song.

[03:33.55] And “he will make you firm,

[03:39.05] And he will make you strong.”

[03:45.81] And “he will make you firm,

[03:51.80] And he will make you strong.”
