[Verse 1]
Have I not commanded you?
Stand up, don’t fold
Strong hands, steady eyes
When the ground feels cold
I know that fear gets loud
I know it names your pain
But you were not built to run
When the sky says rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Do not be afraid
Do not back away
Do not be discouraged
He is with you today
[Chorus]
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
The Lord goes with you
Wherever you go
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
You do not go alone
Wherever you go
[Verse 2]
In the crowd, in the dark
When your voice feels small
When the next step shakes
And you hate the fall
He sees every tear
He knows every mile
He puts steel in your spine
He puts song in your trial
[Pre-Chorus]
Do not be afraid
Do not back away
Do not be discouraged
He is with you today
[Chorus]
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
The Lord goes with you
Wherever you go
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
You do not go alone
Wherever you go
[Bridge]
He’ll meet you in the valley
He’ll lead you through the storm
When the night gets heavy
His promise keeps you warm
No need to be shaken
No need to hide
His hand is on your shoulder
His word is by your side
[Final Chorus]
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
The Lord goes with you
Wherever you go
Be strong and courageous
Be strong and courageous
You do not go alone
Wherever you go
(be strong and courageous)
(wherever you go)
