And a willing heart in you
So I give you strength and courage
And I'll hide you in my hand
For Joshua, you gotta live for your call
Take my people to their land

So be strong and courageous

You know you gotta be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
Never should you feel my call
Just listen and obey

And you know I'll lead you too
Inscribe my law into your soul
And nothing will touch you

Friends
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Cant believe the hopes hes granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the lords the lord of them
And a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the fathers hands we know
That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love gods given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy youll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Courage Of Your Convictions
(rush / cullers)
If you know youre right
When the others are wrong
Its hard to sit and take it
They treat you like youve lost your senses
Call you troublemaker
Im not trying to cause you trouble
I dont wanna fight
Someones got to stand up sometime
And do whats right
Just have the courage of
The courage of your convictions
People tell you do whats right
And set and good example
Sometimes right means who to hate
Listen to the people
Im not trying to mess your mind up
But its plain to see
People pulling from both sides
Its agitating me
So have the courage of
The courage of your convictions
People teaming up on sides
Hating one another
Know your heart before you join
A team to hurt your brother
If theres a way to lead us from this
Like in troubled times
It wont be found through blood and hate
But through courageous minds

My Love
My love is strong,
My heart is big,
What I would give
To keep you,
Is unimaginable.
I like a guy
Who is strong and courageous.
I like a guy
Who is kind and intelligent.
I like a guy
Who is kind and gentle.
I like a guy
Who can speak French and sing.
My love is strong,
My heart is big,
What I would give
To keep you,
Is unimaginable.
I like a guy
Who can draw and keep me safe.
I like a guy
That is beautiful and friendly.
I lve a guy
Who loves animals.
I like a guy
Who can sweep my feet.
I like a guy
Who loves me
For me.

What Is Courage?
Courage is bravery
Courage is strong
Courage is fighting dragons
Or riding all night long.
Through the snowstorms
Through the wind
Cut through thorns
To battle within.
But why, might I ask, is this the stereotype?
Can’t you be courageous
Without muscles or armor
Without having to fight?
Depends on the person,
But if you ask the right one,
Then your answer is yes.
But wait, we’re not done.
To be courageous,
I said with a grin
You don’t need to fight,
You can always depend on
My chest to lay on.
My arms will enclose you
Encircle and embrace you.
My hands will caress you
With the softest touch
You are delicate, so delicate
Like a bubble
Or a child’s mood.
You can be broken or popped
Zooming or stopped.
My warm sunny skin
Bright and clean
And my face, shining with light,
And full of meaning.
‘’Come to me’’
I beg you
I can’t stand your sorrow
Your suffering, your darkening
You dismiss me, ‘’Tomorrow’’
Stop leaving me hanging
Come now, and come ready
You need my love, and I need yours
When you fall, I will steady.
Please child, do not fear
My heart is open to your sins,
Your confessions
Your regrets
Your despairs and repairs
Your sadness and mourning
Or even to win.
To be courageous,
To truly be brave
You need to have confidence,
Discipline, and behave.
You need chastity and chivalry
Honesty and integrity
Forgiveness and love
Compassion and mercy.
You need to know yourself
Know your enemies and friends.
This next one may be difficult,
But you need to love them to all ends.
Be gentle and tender
Be generous and kind
Be creative and clever,
And have a keen mind.
Accept advice and instructions
Guidance and directions
Be polite but stern
Be sturdy and firm
Be considerate and caring
Cautious but daring
Acute and aware
Observant and fair
Go on your way
For just a day
Or maybe a year
To go face your fears
Either way,
I need not say
When in a predicament
Or in fault or doubt
Look to Father and the Son
That’s what this is all about.
Let me repeat that,
I think it’s so strong.
Look to the Father.
And the Son.
They know, they care
For everyone.
Gonna Try It Anyway
(l. stansfield/i. devaney)
Could I be courageous and make a move,
Would it be outrageous to you?
Could I make you happy,
With a smile?
Could I take one moment of your time?
Well this feelin' is so strong, and I dont even know your name,
Ive waited for so long, so long,
Ive never been so sure,
And Im not playing games,
Im gonna dive in at the deep end...
Chorus:
Maybe your shy but, what can I say?
Im gonna try it anyway,
I dont wanna hurt you, or be in the way,
But i'm gonna try it anyway.
I feel so inspired,
Just looking at you,
Ive got the fire,
To see it through,
cos this feelin is so strong,
And Im not playing games,
Im gonna dive in at the deep end...
Chorus
I dont wanna hurt you...

Conquering Giants
All of the giants within your life, are conquered with Jesus Christ,
Those giants that rage within, and those we face in a world of sin.
God who conquers giants for us, seeks only obedience and trust,
As we live for the Lord each day, following our Savior all the way.
Wherever in the world we trod, we faithfully need to seek our God,
To seek out our Savior’s will, as His purpose in life He does fulfill.
As believers, we’re God’s servant, to be used wherever we’re sent,
To fulfill a purpose bigger than us, through our Lord, Christ Jesus.
Like Moses and Joshua too, The Lord will strengthen me and you,
To stand strong and courageous, when things appear outrageous,
Whatever in life, may be our lot, The Lord God will forsake us not,
When we endeavor to follow Jesus, our Lord God will comfort us.
Being faithful to Christ’s call, God helps us stand, strong and tall,
So we will be ready and available, for God’s purpose and His will,
With a teachable spirit for Christ, God helps us deal with sacrifice,
As we meditate on God’s Word, God helps us live all we’ve heard.
If only in God we truly believe, with a humble spirit, we will receive,
Strength and courage from above, provided by The Savior’s Love,
To conquer those giants that we face, guided by sustaining Grace,
As God leads us with His Hand, toward that future Promised Land.
(Copyright ©01/2010)
The man who has strong opinions and always says what he thinks is courageous - and friendless.
Strength, courage and power do not exclude kindness, understanding and consideration. You can be strong and kind; you can be courageous and understanding; you can be powerful and considerate.

Flying at Forty
You call me
courageous,
I who grew up
gnawing on books,
as some kids
gnaw
on bubble gum,
who married disastrously
not once
but three times,
yet have a lovely daughter
I would not undo
for all the dope
in California.
Fear was my element,
fear my contagion.
I swam in it
till I became
immune.
The plane takes off
& I laugh aloud.
Call me courageous.
I am still alive.

When The Love Is Gone
When the love is gone
There is nothing you can do
But feel the pain
If only I could only feel
The freedom that I gain
I could be happy then
And start again
When the love is gone
Instead of feeling sorry, feeling strong
If I could put it all behind were it belongs
And find that long lost friend and myself again
Chorus:
When the love is gone
And the memories tag along
When you know that you gotta go on
Yes you gotta be strong
When the love is gone
Theres no shoulder to cry upon
You gotta hold your head on high
When it says goodbye
When the love is gone
Theres no one in the wings
To take you home
But theres a strength one gets
When going it alone
To make you wiser when it comes again
Chorus
And the moon remains me of your love
And the rain remains me of you love
Sit and watch the sun go down
Its you Im thinking of
But I wont run back for all the stars above
No

Future Promises in The Wind
Future calling.
Future dawning.
Future promises in the wind.
Looming in the distance,
a briefest glimmer
shimmers in my mind.
My passions. My heart.
O, my Lord, where are You leading me?
The call that you ordained for me.
The beautiful plans
that You alone
have laid out.
I wonder but what
they mayest be.
They are perfect,
yet that I know.
Even now I sit and ponder
how you can have
so much faith in me?
Just only a few brief days ago
I paused to tell you something.
How I am so very tired
of facing the Giants
and of the narrow road.
But then, my Lord, You know
I could not end but there.
Because You know that my spirit yet longs
to face the Giants,
fight the battles,
and be strong
and very courageous.
As Joshua was.
And Esther.
And David.
And though I know
the narrow road
may take everything I've got
I am but certain
of this one thing
Your Love
yet leads me on.

Awuah
Of the land of olive oil and honey,
One witness is not enough to convict a man accused of a crime;
But, for the mouth of two people do tell it all for a case.
Awuah, the truth is always known by many;
For a picture is worth a thousand words than a letter.
From Lebanon and to the great river Euphrates,
And from Kadesh Barnea to Gaza;
Be very strong and very courageous at all times!

Countdown To Extinction
Endangered species, caged in fright,
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight.
The stage is set, now pay the price.
An ego boost, dont think twice.
Technology, the battles unfair,
You pull the hammer without a care.
Squeeze the trigger that makes you man,
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned...
The hunt is canned.
/chorus/
All are gone, all but one.
No contest, nowhere to run.
No more left, only one.
This is it, this is the countdown to extinction.
Tell the truth, you wouldnt dare.
The skin and trophy, oh so rare.
Silence speaks louder than words.
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn.
Liars anagram is lairs,
Man you were never even there.
Killed a few feet from the cages,
Point blank, youre so courageous...
So courageous.
/chorus/
One hour from now,
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever...and the rate is accelerating.
/chorus/

Strong Enough
I just took your picture off the table
And I just took your picture off the wall
Hide from you anywhere I'm able
But there's one place I can't hide from you at all
Chorus:
Tennessee, you don't make the whiskey
California, you don't make the wine
And Mexico, you don't make tequila
Strong enough to get her off my mind
Memories seem to know just where to find me
And lately they're all that I recall
And everything in this old house reminds me
Of the love I had and how I lost it all
Repeat chorus
Days go by and I still feel the sorrow
And time don't make a difference in the pain
Just sitting here and waiting on tomorrow
Will drive me crazy if I don't go insane
Repeat chorus
Strong enough to get her off my mind
Strong enough to get her off my mind

Only The Strong Survive (Take 22)
I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it
Boy, Oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive
That's what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
Don't go all around with your head hung down
Well I wouldn't let that little girl
No, I wouldn't let her know that she made me feel like a clown
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Oh, you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
'Cos only the strong survive
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Well, you've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive

You'll Always Have Me
The hurting time has come
And now your whole world has come undone
When youyou lose your heart you can't go on
What you think is love is really, really not that strong
Chorus:
When you're all alone and need someone around
Just remember I won't let you down
When you finally find just what you're looking for
They close a door, someone has set you free
You'll always have me
There's no use to pretend
Just gotta find the strength to start again
'Cause when you lose it all, it's so unfair
When you're down and out, you call me and I'll be there
(Chorus)
Ooh don't slip away
When darkness comes you realize
(Solo)

Keep Your Head
(vs.1)
The day seems so very long
But Im trying to be strong
(trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, I say
Things will soon turn my way
And then Ill have a clear view
But I gotta keep
(chorus)
Keep your head to the sky
I dont need to tell you why
Keep your head to the sky
I dont need to tell you why
(vs.2)
I sometimes get worried
And I wonder why I worry
Cause I know that I will make it through the storm
Im tryin not to lose my cool
Because if in this world I do
The only person thats gonna miss out on everything is me
And I gotta keep
(chorus)
Oooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up
Dont you look down for nobody
Dont you do it, dont you do it
Keep your head
(chorus)
Everydays a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because Im out here trying to do the right thing
And when I look around heres the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how I feel about me
But I gotta keep
