It takes courage

Inspired by a storyline from Blue Bloods. 

It takes courage to tell the truth. It takes courage to face the truth. No matter what we've done, what matters is what we do next. 

Don't take a step back. Step forward and be brave. 

Sometimes strength and courage are treading softly with hope, light and love. 

It takes courage

It takes courage to tell the truth 
It takes courage, win or lose 
It takes courage to face the day
It takes courage, come what may

When our backs are against the wall 
Do we fight or stand tall?
Do we remain the light and love?
Do we have hope in God above?

To step forward when there's only space 
To embrace the climb with hope and faith 
To keep praying and believing 
In God's plan slowly revealing 

To walk in the shadow of the mountain 
Through the pain and the valley shrouded 
When darkness and villains reign 
To remember that God's blessings will remain 

When we're scared and confused by life 
To focus on the positive and the right 
Because we get to choose our journey 
How our soul will move through eternity 

It takes courage to walk through fire 
It takes courage to face each mile 
May God remind us every day 
That He is our favour and grace
