Courage

No reason to be afraid, 
Let not your heart be coward; 
Let not mire make your faith fade, 
Let not your steps go backward.

There are many a reason
To be brave and valorous; 
Amid the tribulation, 
You'll emerge victorious.

God is there to protect you
From trials and poverty; 
He'll make you happy, not blue, 
In spite of calamity.

Be strong in your confidence, 
Keep the light of hope alive; 
The Lord God is your defense, 
Letting your spirit survive.

Ask God for strength and power, 
Inside the house of worship; 
You should never surrender
To sufferings and hardship.
