Courage - The Cosmic Praise

(VERSE 1)
The ground is shaking ‘neath my feet,
The coming storm feels wild and deep.
My breath is short, my hands are weak,
A dread I cannot shake or keep.
It whispers lies that I am small,
That I will surely trip and fall.
But I am standing through it all.

(VERSE 2)
For courage isn’t being bold,
With fires bright and stories told.
It’s getting up when you are cold,
And choosing trust when you can’t hold.
It hears the thunder, knows the cost,
And lifts its eyes to what is lost,
Refusing to be tempest-tossed.

(CHORUS)
For the power I feel rising in my chest
Is more than just my will, it is a rest!
It is a fortress, it’s a name I know,
The source of every strength I’ll ever show.
I stand victorious, I am not my fear,
My victory is sealed, my path is clear.
Jehovah’s got my back, and Christ is here!

(VERSE 3)
So let the mountains slide to sea,
Let darkness come, it will not break me.
No weapon formed will make me flee,
My spirit fights, my soul is free.
This is the truth I plant inside:
In Christ, my fears have always died.
With Him, I’ve got a place to hide.

(CHORUS)
For the power I feel rising in my chest
Is more than just my will, it is a rest!
It is a fortress, it’s a name I know,
The source of every strength I’ll ever show.
I stand victorious, I am not my fear,
My victory is sealed, my path is clear.
Jehovah’s got my back, and Christ is here!

(VERSE 4)
And when the flood is at my door,
And panic beats against my core,
I lean on truth, I trust Him more.
He is the anchor, He the shore.
This dread cannot define my days,
I’ll fix my eyes beyond the haze,
And walk in His redeeming ways.

(CHORUS)
For the power I feel rising in my chest
Is more than just my will, it is a rest!
It is a fortress, it’s a name I know,
The source of every strength I’ll ever show.
I stand victorious, I am not my fear,
My victory is sealed, my path is clear.
Jehovah’s got my back, and Christ is here!

(VERSE 5)
So fear, you liar, have your say,
You cannot take my hope away.
I face the night, I face the day,
In perfect love you cannot stay.
My back is covered, by His hand,
On solid rock I rise and stand.
My courage comes from His command.

(CHORUS)
For the power I feel rising in my chest
Is more than just my will, it is a rest!
It is a fortress, it’s a name I know,
The source of every strength I’ll ever show.
I stand victorious, I am not my fear,
My victory is sealed, my path is clear.
Jehovah’s got my back, and Christ is here!
