Courage

You gave her courage to stand on her own Though through the years things were tough You gave her strength, you gave her enough Look at me now, I'm all grown We had no house to call our own Moved from here to there Always asked for a room to spare But what we found, she made a home Early morning, come rain or shine She’d go to work for our table She did what she could always willing and able On her knees asking for a sign Our stay with others was never long No one wanted my tiny hands all around Screaming and throwing myself on the ground But she just smiled and moved along Yes the courage that You gave her Led us to our own house and home Your grace truly has shown And Your mercy saved her
