Boldness and Courage

Recall, God has commanded
We be strong, of good courage
Are not afraid, nor dismayed
Nor are we discouraged.

How do you treat others
As a giver, or taker?
To unburden your load
Or to share, God’s favors?

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

By Your Spirit, I’m reborn
By Your Spirit, empower
By Your Spirit, do direct
By Your Spirit, overpower.

By constant prayer, keep seeking
Lest we wander, and fall
Ever dependent, await
God’s Word and wisdom, in all.

With other cisterns, we still thirst But not the waters, Jesus gives
Becomes a fountain, within us
Springing up, forever lives.

And God warns by deserting
We become wayward people
As we drink, from broken cisterns
We commit two great evils.

In the midst of our darkness
God in mercy, send light
An awakening, to revive us
By Your Spirit, to ignite.

So, let us learn not to doubt
Rather, believe God knows best
When disaster sinks our ship
Trust in God, abide and rest.

As our lighthouse, our beacon
We can find the way
Jesus offers, eternal hope
Will we trust, and obey?
