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
