Courage for These Days – v2

We have Hope in our Lord
the future that He promised;
We have courage for these days
while we toil here on earth

We have Courage to follow Jesus
on the Servant’s journey;
We help our neighbors
out of Your boundless love

We have Courage to heed
the Spirit’s callings;
We step out in faith
to do our loving part

We have Love to mend
offering His peace to them;
We live by His example
that all may know Christ

We have Words to speak
across the world;
We Testify to His power
that all will hear the Good News

We Take up our cross
using our gifts in His service;
we have Courage in these days
while we toil here below
