V5

[Verse 1] God, in You I have all that I need, But when trouble rises, my faith feels weak. I start to rehears all the ways I could fall, And I somehow forget You’re holding it all. So come and take my shaking hands— Remind my heart who makes me stand. [Pre-Chorus] You don’t ask me to be fearless— You ask me not to run. You don’t promise empty comfort— You promise You will come. [Chorus] Be strong and courageous— That’s what You said to me. Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged— You’re right here guiding me. For the Lord my God is with me, Wherever my feet may go— With me always, to the end of the age, So I will trust You, I will obey. [Verse 2] All authority in heaven and earth is Yours, So when You tell me “Go,” it’s not a question anymore. Not because I’m ready, not because I’m brave— But because You are faithful and You make a way. Teach me to observe what You command, Not just with my words—with my life, my hands. [Pre-Chorus 2] Give me wisdom to honor You When the choice is hard. Give me courage to trust You When I can’t see far. [Chorus] Be strong and courageous— That’s what You said to me. Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged— You’re right here guiding me. For the Lord my God is with me, Wherever my feet may go— With me always, to the end of the age, So I will trust You, I will obey. [Bridge — Prayer] When I forget that You’re in control, Call me back, call me home. Make me strong and courageous, Lord— Not in myself, but in Your Word. Give me the courage I need to trust in You, Give me the wisdom I need to honor You. Remind me You are with me, Remind me You are for me, And You will keep directing my steps— Amen, amen… I won’t forget. [Final Chorus — bigger / lifted] Be strong and courageous— That’s what You said to me. Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged— You’re right here guiding me. All authority belongs to Jesus, So I will not let go— With me always, to the end of the age, So I will trust You, I will obey. [Outro — soft] With me always… Wherever I go
