Courage Inspiring

Courage to take the role you have been given,
And encourage others by the way you are living.
Courage of the ages past to hold high the light,
And courage to stand for what is right.

Courage that it took to walk up the hill,
And my sacrifice, and my place He did fill.
Courage to take the hurt and pain,
And through it my eternal life to gain.

Courage to love when all seems lost,
Courage to cover all of sin's cost.
Lord, You gave me the strength to stand,
And the courage to reach for Your hand.
