Be Strong and of Good Courage

I walk these halls alone,
Nothing here has changed.
I’m surrounded by so many
No one knows my name.
I’m not expecting miracles,
won’t someone look at me.
Then from deep within my heart I hear,
Have I not commanded thee?

Be thou strong and of good courage,
Be thou not afraid,
For the Lord, thy God is with thee,
He will always stay.
He’ll stand by you,
He’ll give you strength,
the courage to succeed.
Be thou strong, Have courage,
Never be afraid.

I daily read his words,
I speak to Him each day.
I feel his spirit strengthen me
He’s showing me the way.
He gives me peace, I feel His love,
He does believe in me.
And from somewhere deep within I feel,
The strength He gives to me.

I’ll be strong and of good courage.
I’ll not be afraid.
For the Lord my God is with me,
He will always stay.
He’ll stand by me, He’ll give me strength,
the courage to succeed.
I’ll be strong, Have courage
Never be afraid
[Onward Christian Soldiers]
I will never be afraid!
