Be Courageous and Strong

[00:02.72] 1.It’s dark outside.

[00:04.47] To start the day,

[00:08.22] She humbly starts to pray

[00:11.95] For her kids at school

[00:14.45] And the brotherhood:

[00:17.70] “Father, help us be faithful.”

[00:21.96] When things make it hard to cope,

[00:26.70] She never thinks of losing hope,

[00:31.96] Never stops being kind.

[00:34.45] And that song​—it’s always on her mind:

[00:37.95] (CHORUS)

[00:40.70] ‘I will make you strong.

[00:46.24] Do not be afraid.

[00:51.21] I will be with you.

[00:56.22] I will be your aid.’

[01:00.71] Be courageous and strong.

[01:05.46] It’s her favorite song.

[01:10.72] And “he will make you firm,

[01:15.46] And he will make you strong.”

[01:20.46] (BRIDGE)

[01:21.95] Time to get on her feet​—

[01:23.70] Try to make ends meet​—

[01:26.70] Never sure what to expect.

[01:31.21] Her true friends out there

[01:33.48] Really show her they care,

[01:35.97] So she never needs to fret.

[02:19.21] 2.She’ll soar on wings

[02:21.72] To rise up high,

[02:25.72] Like eagles in the sky.

[02:28.72] All the roles she plays​—

[02:31.21] So little time each day​—

[02:34.70] And in her heart, she starts to pray.

[02:38.47] Aching feet and tired hands​—

[02:42.73] She tries the very best she can.

[02:47.73] But there’s strength she can find

[02:50.22] In that song that’s always on her mind:

[02:54.46] (CHORUS)

[02:56.20] ‘I will make you strong.

[03:01.45] Do not be afraid.

[03:06.47] I will be with you.

[03:11.20] I will be your aid.’

[03:15.22] Be courageous and strong.

[03:20.47] It’s her favorite song.

[03:25.47] And “he will make you firm,

[03:30.21] And he will make you strong.”

[03:36.72] And “he will make you firm,

[03:41.95] And he will make you strong.”
