The Song of Courage
I’m marching into battle
But I am not afraid
I know I have to do this
And for this I was made
I’ll march through any forest
To deserts I will go
Yah’s given me a calling
And that I surely know
I’ll fight against the enemy
No foe will hold me down
I’ll stand upon my watch post
I’ll bravely hold my ground
Yehovah is my stronghold
He trains my hands for war
Why should I fear the battle?
It’s what He made me for
Why should I e'er by frightened
By any enemy?
The One who made the heavens
His Spirit lives in me!
A thousand fall at beside me
Ten thousand at my right
But it will not come near me
Yehovah’s my strong cleft
And thus I shan't be frightened
Though mountains crumble down
Though ocean waves keep swelling
My King's my joy and crown
The One who healed the blind men
Has given me His Light
The One who raised the lame men
Has sent me to this fight
The world may cry, so frightened
But no, I say, not I
For Yah is watching o’er me
The apple of His eye
Yes, He's my shield and shelter
He saves me from Sheol
So forward, upward, onward
I’m marching to the goal
