Courage to be (Vol 2 No 56)


God in all creation, transcendent, above;

Yet immanent spirit found fully in love;

This indwelling spirit, so precious but free,

Brings dignity to us and the courage to be.

 

Chorus:

God, the Presence within me,

Source of love flowing through me,

Breath of life that surrounds me

Gives me courage to be.

 

When feeling so fragile, when standing alone,

When darkness is heavy and hope is unknown,

When failing to conquer and longing to flee,

These moments are those we need the courage to be.

 

Chorus.

 

When days are much brighter, when coping with stress,

When sharing achievement and knowing success,

When feeling forgiven we’re able to see

How wondrous it is to have the courage to be.

 

Chorus.
