Courageous
By Casting Crowns
We were made to be courageous
We were made to lead the way
We could be the generation
That finally breaks the chains
We were made to be courageous
We were made to be courageous
We were warriors on the front lines
Standing, unafraid
But now we’re watchers on the sidelines
While our families slip away
Where are you, men of courage?
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
We will serve the Lord
We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
We were meant to be courageous.
The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our wives and children
We refuse to let them fall
We will reignite the passion
That we buried deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the men of God arise
We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God.
In the war of the mind I will make my stand
(Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God.)
In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand
(Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God.)
In the war of the mind I will make my stand
(Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God.)
In the battle of the heart and the battle of the hand
(Seek justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God.)
We were made to be courageous
And we’re taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we’ll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
We were made to be courageous
Lord, make us courageous
