Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said.
“Take courage. I am here!” (Matthew 14:27; NLT).
1. Lord,
Please give us courage,
To face all life may bring:
Heartbreak, sickness, hunger,
For you are still our King.
2. Lord,
Please give us courage
To bear all that may come:
Loneliness and worry,
Until this plague is done.
3. Lord,
Please give us courage
To turn to you, and pray,
Trusting in your mercy,
And serving you each day.
4. Lord,
Please give us courage
And hope, for you are great;
Forgive us all our sins,
And help us hold fast to our faith.
