Lyrics
Courage to Obey! Courage to Obey!
Verse 1
God told Joshua "It's time to move. The Promised Land is waiting for you.
Don't be afraid, don't turn away. I'll walk beside you all the way."
He saw the river, he saw the walls, but God was greater than them all.
He stood up strong and chose to say, "If God says 'Go', I'll go today."
Pre-Chorus
Be Strong, be brave! God is with me every day.
Be strong, be brave! I've got Courage to obey.
Chorus
I've got courage to obey. I will trust what God will say.
When He says, "Go," I'll go. When He says, "Wait," I'll wait.
I've got Courage to Obey.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. Oh, oh, He makes me brave.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. I've got Courage to Obey.
Verse 2
The Jordan River blocked the way, but God made dry ground that day.
They marched around the city walls, then shouted loud, and God made them fall!
Joshua learned what we can know. God will lead us where to go.
When His Word shows me the way, I can trust Him and obey.
Pre-Chorus
Be Strong, be brave! God is with me every day.
Be strong, be brave! I've got Courage to obey.
Chorus
I've got courage to obey. I will trust what God will say.
When He says, "Go," I'll go. When He says, "Wait," I'll wait.
I've got Courage to Obey.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. Oh, oh, He makes me brave.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. I've got Courage to Obey.
Bridge
When I'm scared, God is with me!
When its hard, God is with me!
When I don't know what to do, I'll trust His Word!
Chorus 2
Be strong, be strong! Be brave, be brave!
I've got Courage to Obey!
I don't have to be the best. I don't have to fear the test.
If the mighty God is near, I can face my every fear.
One step, two steps, walking in His way.
Trust God, follow God!
Courage to Obey!
Chorus
I've got courage to obey. I will trust what God will say.
When He says, "Go," I'll go. When He says, "Wait," I'll wait.
I've got Courage to Obey.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. Oh, oh, He makes me brave.
Oh, Oh, God is with me. I've got Courage to Obey.
Ending
Be strong, be brave! God is with me all the way.
Be strong, be brave! I've got Courage to Obey!
