cOuRaGe...

As a young child, I learned to be honest and true
To the things I believe in my heart
Even when this old world is cruel.
Yes I learned to be brave, and I learned to defend
The precious things of the Savior and endure to the end...

As I strive to hold on to the things that I know are true,
Temptations, they beckon to me and try to subdue.
It takes courage to win and nothing to lose,
And now I plead for His mercy as I struggle to choose.

Courage is doing what's right in the presence of fear,
It takes courage to do what I should when no one is near.
Courage is my way of saying, "I will follow Thee
When the world walks out on me"

Courage is my way of saying, "I will follow Thee
When the world walks out on me..."
